Partner Program

As a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the Humane Society of Sarasota County receives no federal funding, nor are we funded by any national humane organization. Every donation serves a purpose and is used to help HSSC fulfill our mission to engage the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals.

Since 1952, we have made great strides and have helped thousands of animals, but there is still work to do. Together, we can make our vision of a community where all animals are cared for and loved a reality.

When you join our Partner Program, you’ll be a part of HSSC. You’ll be helping to end the cycle of animal homelessness. You’ll be giving second chances to animals when they need them most. You’ll be making a difference.

Partnerships come with a range of opportunities and benefits—for individuals and businesses. Your support will forever change the lives of animals in our community, and your commitment will help us save more lives each year. Your investment stays in your community and deeply impacts the area’s premier no-kill shelter.

Let’s make our relationship official. Won’t you be our partner?

If you’re interested in becoming an HSSC Partner, please contact Autumn Steiner at 941.955.4131 x121.

Partner levels are based on cumulative donations for the HSSC fiscal year (January–December). Partners will be notified when they reach a new level, and the partner benefits are in effect from that day through the rest of the HSSC fiscal year. Consider making a multi-year commitment to ensure uninterrupted support.

We respect anonymity, so simply let us know if you prefer to not have your support published.
