YOUR GRACIOUS CONTRIBUTION HELPS SUPPORT IN MANY WAYS
From routine services like spaying/neutering to reconstructive surgery, the Outer Banks SPCA is committed to providing quality care for all of our residents. Every year we face new challenges and, as an Open-Admission shelter, we never quite know what those challenges will be. Your donation will help these animals thrive! Thank you so much for your desire to help us care for the hundreds of animals in need that come through our door every year. Because of the generous support from incredible donors like you, we can keep up with our mission to provide the best care for the homeless cats, dogs, and other small and wild animals in the OBX community.

OTHER WAYS TO SUPPORT
Gifts or Memorials
Finding the perfect gift for an animal you love just got easier! Give a monetary donation to the Outer Banks SPCA and the gift recipient will receive a notification of the special donation in his/her name. Donations can also be made in memory of a loved one or pet that has passed away.
Tribute Tile
The Outer Banks SPCA invites you to honor your pet and support the SPCA with a Commemorative Pet Tile.
Imprinted with a beloved pet’s color photo and name, commemorative tiles are permanently installed on the interior walls of our Dare County Animal Shelter, and serve as an everlasting tribute to the love and bond between animals and their families. Thousands of visitors each year see these furry faces decorating our walls and many will visit their own personal tile again and again to remember a special pet.
A $500 donation receives an 8” x 8” tile and $250 donation receives a 4” x 4” tile. All donations help the Outer Banks SPCA to find all adoptable animals’ homes. Learn more here.
Matching Gifts
Check with your employer’s Human Resources or Community Relations department to see if the company will match gifts for employee contributions or volunteer hours. This is a very easy way to give back to the animals!
Charitable Funds
Does your business or organization set aside philanthropic funds to support worthy causes in the communities where your employees live? Consider adding the OBX SPCA to your charitable giving program! All donations are tax deductible.
Gifts of Securities, Real Estate, or Other Property
We gratefully accept most gifts of publicly traded securities, real estate, and other similar property, subject to our gift acceptance policies. Generally speaking, these gifts are valued at fair market value, typically reaping significant income tax benefits for the donor. Please contact us to discuss your options. Please contact billc@obxspca.org to discuss your options.

Are there any in-kind donations that you are not able to accept or use with your animals?
We are grateful for your donation! However, there are some items that we cannot use because of our sanitation standards. Examples of these items include pillows, mattresses, carpeted stairs, or carpeted scratching posts or cat trees. We’d love to use these items, but there is no way for us to sterilize them after use. Please check out other local non-profits that could benefit from these items.
I don’t want my in-kind donations to go to waste. Are my in-kind donation items truly helpful?
Donated in-kind supplies are vital to our success in caring for our residents. If you have a question or are unsure about whether we can use an item you’d like to donate, please give us a call 252-475-5620.
