Turn your compassion into action by hosting your own fundraiser for the animals who need it most.

Whether it’s something small and heartfelt or big and bold, your fundraiser can change lives — giving injured and sick animals a second chance at healing and love.

You don’t need to be a professional fundraiser. You just need a kind heart and a creative idea.

Choose Your Fundraiser
Decide what kind of fundraiser you’d like to host. It can be simple, fun, quirky or meaningful — as long as it brings people together for a good cause.

2. Name It
Give your fundraiser a fun or meaningful name so people remember it.

3. Let Us Know

Tell us about your fundraiser, date and ideas.
We’ll send you the info and tools you may need — and can even assist with presence or support where possible to help make your fundraiser a success.

4. Register Your Fundraiser
Set up your fundraising page on BackaBuddy and start sharing it with your network of friends, family and colleagues.
