For 20 years, Friends of Oakland Animal Services (FOAS) has been there for Oakland’s most vulnerable animals. Because of your support, more lives have been saved at Oakland Animal Services than ever in its history.
But now, severe city budget cuts put our progress at risk—and we can’t let that happen.
Today, generous supporters have come together to offer a matching challenge May 16th through June 15th, or up to $130,000, to help FOAS meet this moment and continue expanding what we’ve built.
But we can’t do this alone.
Help us reach people we can’t, including everyone you know who cares about Oakland’s animals.
What you can do:
- Donate- Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $130,000, doubling your impact.
- Fundraise for FOAS- Start your own fundraising page and rally your circle. Help us inspire other people who care about Oakland’s shelter animals. Check out our toolkit to see how easy it is to get started. To make this fun, there will be weekly challenges and prizes for the top participants!
- Share the message- Help us reach new people. Post on social media, share this with your friends and family, or talk to your community. You can inspire someone else to get involved.
We’ve come so far with the highest animal save rate in OAS’s history. Let’s not go back!
