product donations

 

The Planet Dog Foundation understands that there are numerous ways to support innovative and like-minded organizations in addition to cash grants. Because our grantmaking budget is limited, we also offer a product donation program.

product donation program

Planet Dog has donated gift baskets to The Planet Dog Foundation to be used as auction items or raffle prizes. We donate a limited number of baskets each year and they are earmarked for non-profit organizations only. Organizations do not need to work with dogs to apply. Baskets will vary depending on the nature of the event. The average product donation will be between $25- $100 in retail value.

In addition, Planet Dog donates a selection of products to PDF to be donated throughout the U.S. These items are distributed to non-profits for use in fundraising efforts or for shelter animals.

PLEASE NOTE: Because we receive more requests than we can possibly fill, written applications MUST be submitted and received at The Planet Dog Foundation at least six weeks before the date items are needed. E-mail applications will not be accepted - we require a hard copy by fax or mail. Last minute requests will not be considered. Additionally, we have a limited amount of product for donation. We try to accommodate as many applicants as possible but the demand far exceeds our capacity to give. Submitting an application does not guarantee a product donation.
