How to Help
Donate
We will make a difference together – GK Foundation, Inc. DBA "Giving4Pets" is a federally registered 501(c)(3), dedicated to using donations from individuals, corporate sponsorships, re-sale store and foundation grants to keep Pets and Families together. Your contribution will have a significant impact on the lives of companion animals and their owners.
Your donations save lives and can keep families together. We know families are living pay-check to pay-check and we will not allow pets to suffer due to hardships being experienced by their owner. Each donation increases the funds available for animals and their owners to stay together and grow old together!
All contributions to Giving4Pets are completely tax-deductible. To mail a contribution, please send to: GK Foundation, Inc., 10743 W Peoria Ave, Sun City, AZ 85351
Become a Corporate Sponsor
Corporations donating to Giving4Pets receive not only the benefits of tax-deductible giving but also increased national visibility as a business that cares about animals and their communities. Another benefit to becoming a corporate sponsor is increased exposure to your business. Our website receives thousands of visitors and our network of veterinarians, animal certified trainers, pet owners, and corporate sponsors can learn about your organization and the services you provide.
There are many ways organizations can help and benefit from donating to Giving4Pets.
Foster Home Support
Many shelters are at max occupancy. Unfortunately, not all shelters are no-kill shelters, meaning many pets will not live out their full lives if they are not adopted or saved in time.
Fostering animals is something many people want and wish they could do but simply do not have the financial resources to take on a new pet in their home. Giving4Pets works with your local community to provide assistance to those who want to foster a pet that is in need. Giving4Pets is able to provide assistance with food, medicine, veterinary care, spay and neutering and training to allow for the pet to be comfortable and successfully adopted to a good home and happy family.
By offering your time, energy and safe home to an animal in need, you help the animal feel comfortable and prepared for adoption into a permanent home. This also helps prevent overcrowding and in the end, euthanizing of animals in shelters.
