HOW YOU CAN HELP > DONATE
Donating to ARF SEPA makes a direct impact in the lives of homeless and at-risk pets.
ARF SEPA is all-volunteer and utilizes a network of foster homes to house animals until adopted. We do not run a traditional shelter building, and as a result administrative costs are kept low. All funding goes directly to pay for ARF SEPA’s programs, such as our foster program’s veterinary care, low-cost spay/neuter, and many others. You can read about ARF SEPA’s programs in-depth listed under our “Special Programs” link.
It’s easy to donate to the Animal Rescue Foundation. You can donate online using PayPal (click the Make a Donation button below), by mail, or stop by one of our outreach events throughout the community each week. All of the proceeds we raise go directly to help homeless and at-risk pets. We have no salaries to pay and no paid staff.
Donate by mail to:
1167 West Baltimore Pike, #222
Media, PA 19063
Check our “News and Events” listing to catch ARF SEPA volunteers in action at our next outreach event.
WISH LIST
Some people like to donate goods or services instead of monetary donations, and we are just as grateful for these generous gifts. Since ARF SEPA foster families provide food, litter, toys, etc., for their foster pets at their own cost, we pass along any food, etc. donations directly to our foster families. We have included a number of items below as part of our “wish list” of items. We also gratefully accept donations of goods and services that can be used for ARF SEPA fundraising events. Restaurant gift certificates, hostess gifts, hand-crafted items, etc., can all be used to raise significant funding during the “silent auction” at our upscale fundraising events (please consult “News and Events” for upcoming functions). Do you own a service-based business, such as a catering company or DJ? We also gratefully accept in-kind donations to help offset the cost of putting on our fun fundraising events. Please send an e-mail to info@arfsepa.com if you have items you wish to donate.

eSCRIP, iGIVE & REVERB
By using eScrip and iGive, you can enroll and shop like you typically do at the mall, at the grocery store, restaurants and more. A percentage of your purchase total will automatically be donated by eScrip or iGive to the Animal Rescue Foundation of Southeastern Pennsylvania (ARF SEPA). This is fun and easy way to donate that doesn’t cost you anything extra.
For more information, please go to www.eScrip.com and select “Animal Rescue Foundation of Southeastern Pennsylvania” as your beneficiary. Locally, Genaurdi’s (a Safeway company) participates, as does Macy’s and Eddie Bauer, to name a few. Or, for online shopping, you can also use www.iGive.com. Lands’ End, Dell and many other companies participate with iGive.
ARF SEPA has also registered with an organization called “Reverb.” This is an online shopping organization that enrolls participating merchants, and when you purchase items online through Reverb, a percentage of your purchase is donated directly to ARF SEPA. You don’t have to do anything but shop online like you normally would. The important thing to remember when shopping online is that you must designate the nonprofit organization before you make your purchases. Please click on the attached Reverb icon for full information, or visit their web site at www.reverbk12.com on how this system works. Thank you for supporting the Animal Rescue Foundation and for thinking rescue first!
