Give to the Max Day links donors with like-minded missions and values to organizations working to make Minnesota a better place. GiveMN brings innovation, energy, enthusiasm, and fresh ideas to Minnesota's generosity. We love the awareness it brings to philanthropy. Philanthropy is not just for the wealthy; everyone can enjoy the good feeling that giving back to a cause you feel is worthy brings to us. It doesn't matter how much you give but that you give!

In 2023, Pet Haven raised over $45,000 due to the engagement and awareness the Give to the Max campaign brought to our organization. These generous donations made a true impact on the 867 rescued Minnesota pets we saved last year!

This year, we are on track to save over 1200 Minnesota pets! This is a 40% increase so we have a BIG GOAL for Give To The Max this year.

 

2023 saw many challenges in the nonprofit sectors, but the animal welfare industry was drastically affected. This year, 2024, we have hit full crisis mode. The cost of animal care has risen dramatically, 53% in 4 years, based on a Forbes Magazine study. Affordable housing that accepts pets is extremely difficult to find, and the need for help, whether it is for stray, abandoned pets, owners in crisis who need help, or overcrowded local shelters euthanizing for space (Yes, Minnesota shelters are euthanizing for space), the need is more significant than we have ever seen.

We knew we needed to rethink how we were operating to be able to meet the increased needs.

We needed to lower our cost of care to help more pets in crisis and increase our revenue. Our past model was one of outsourcing our veterinary care, which resulted in approximately $30,000 a month in animal care costs, averaging about $360 per pet in medical care. In 2023, we pivoted. Through the gift of a generous supporter who believed in our mission and vision, we opened up our surgical suite and moved to in-house care, resulting in monthly standard medical care costs of under $17,000! This reduction in standard care costs has allowed us to lean in on those pets that need "extra" help.

 

By making this shift, we can change more lives and can have an impact on pets who need extra medical care! Like forgotten seniors dropped off at shelters, or injured pets found stray, or sick pets at rurl shelters who do not have any resources to help. Pet Haven is the "go-to" rescue for safe, compassionate care and a chance at a new life!
