Feeding Pets of the Homeless launches $75K matching gift challenge campaign; Dave and Cheryl Duffield Foundation to provide matching funds
CARSON CITY — Feeding Pets of the Homeless is announcing its first matching gift challenge. Now through December 31, friends and other supporters have the opportunity to double their donations by participating in this special fundraising campaign.
The End of Year Match campaign encourages local businesses, schools, churches, and individuals to raise funds for the companion animals to the homeless. The Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation is matching donations to this campaign dollar-for-dollar up to $75,000 through December.
Based in Carson City, Nev., Feeding Pets of the Homeless is the first and one of a few national nonprofit organizations that provides a network focused completely on feeding and providing emergency veterinary care to pets of homeless people. The organization raises funds to provide food and supplies, emergency veterinary care, crates for homeless shelters and vaccinations at wellness clinics.
“This match is the largest in the history of Feeding Pets of the Homeless,” said Genevieve Frederick, founder and president of FPOTH. “We are grateful The Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation has awarded us this opportunity.”
“We are thrilled to be supporting the efforts of Feeding Pets of the Homeless through this Match campaign,” said Jerleen Bryant, Executive Director of the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation. “The past two years have been difficult for so many people and their pets, and we are excited to be able to give back to those who need it most.”
Donations made to FPOTH before the end of December are eligible for match, including contributions by mail, online, social media and over the phone. For information on how to participate visit petsofthehomeless.org/2021-matching.
“We are incredibly thankful for our donors’ support,” said Frederick. “Our nationwide community has an astounding amount of commitment to help these pets and their humans and we are excited to see their contributions matched.”
