Corporate Giving and Engagement

Partner With Purpose: Corporate Opportunities at the Erie Humane Society

At the Erie Humane Society, we believe that strong partnerships build stronger communities. By joining forces with local and regional businesses, we can continue to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need — while showcasing your company’s commitment to compassion, community, and social responsibility.

Whether your business is looking to give back, engage employees, or make a lasting impact, there are many meaningful ways to get involved.

Ways to Get Involved

  1. Event Sponsorship

    Support our signature fundraising events, such as the Mutt Gala, Designer Purse & Cash Bingo, and Trails & Tails 5K. Sponsorships help offset event costs, allowing more funds to go directly toward animal care — while giving your brand valuable visibility in the community.

  2. Kennel Sponsorship

    Show your commitment year-round by sponsoring a cat or dog kennel. Your business name will be displayed on the kennel, reminding visitors that your support provides comfort and care for every animal who calls it home while awaiting adoption.

  3. Charitable Donations & Naming Opportunities

    Make a lasting impact through a monetary or in-kind contribution. Larger gifts may qualify for naming opportunities throughout our facility, such as adoption rooms, play yards, or rehabilitation spaces — creating a permanent testament to your generosity.

  4. Clear the Kennels Event Sponsor

    Help us make adoption dreams come true during a Clear the Kennels event! Your sponsorship helps cover adoption fees, medical care, and enrichment for animals finding their forever homes. By sponsoring this event, your business directly impacts lives — clearing space for the next animal in need and celebrating the joy of adoption across our community.

  5. Corporate Donation Match Programs

    Encourage your employees to give by matching their charitable donations to the Erie Humane Society. Corporate matching doubles the impact of individual contributions, helping even more animals in need.

  6. Corporate Donation Drives

    Host a workplace collection drive for food, toys, cleaning supplies, or other shelter essentials. It’s a hands-on way to build team morale while directly supporting our daily operations.
