Donations, Sponsorships & Bequests
There are many ways you can help support our cancer treatment and research fundraising efforts.  

Gift-Giving Programs
We have some wonderful ways to donate in which gifts can be received in return. These gifts include books, Golden plush pups, memorial and celebration cards, film credit acknowledgments, and story webpages. Just click here to learn more.


General Cash Contributions
Cash donations are certainly the most direct and immediately beneficial way of contributing to the Foundation. They can be made below online or via check by clicking here. If you would like to have your contribution go to a specific area, such as for research in comparative oncology or for our cancer treatment grants for working dogs, please provide a note to that effect.



Gifts in Kind
Gifts of this nature include items that can be used in our operation or for fundraising purposes. For example, we can place donated items on Ebay or use them in a gift-gifting donation program.

Operational costs include future travel-related costs (airfare, hotel, etc.) when we take our completed Gotta Dance! Documentary Film on the road to related trade shows and dog events. A letter from the Foundation will be provided that details your donation. However, the tax deductible value is always determined by the donor.


Vehicle Donations
Are you a candidate for making a Vehicle Donation? You are entitled to an itemized deduction of the “Fair Market Value” of any donated vehicle. (The “fair market value” is the full retail price less any necessary repairs.)

Do you have an extra, unwanted vehicle that can be donated? If you are buying a new car, your old car may be worth more as a donation than a trade-in because you get a itemized tax deduction based on the retail value of your vehicle. If your car still has value (it runs or only needs simple repairs), then you can get a significant tax saving by donating it.

Our service will arrange pick up of your vehicle. You will be sent a Tax Donation Receipt for your records after the pickup. This is just a receipt. You will have to determine the “fair market value” of your donation for your itemized deduction. Learn about when & how to donate your vehicle, tax information, and more by clicking here.



Matching Gifts
Many companies offer a matching gift program that will increase the value of your contribution. If your employer offers a matching gift program, they will usually match a gift made to any 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Once an initial gift has been made, many companies will then include the nonprofit on a list of eligible charitable organizations for employees to select from. Some companies even offer matching gift programs for retirees and employee spouses. Just check with your benefits or personnel office to obtain the appropriate information.



Sponsorships
You may be able to help if you believe a friend or business in your area is interested in providing a donation or sponsorship. Sponsors would benefit from unprecedented visibility, as our site is frequented daily by thousands of companion animal lovers. And with the site comprised of multiple sections over 1,000+ pages, there would be ample avenues for increased exposure. Click here to contact us for further information.



Specific, Contingent & Residual Bequests
You can designate a specific dollar amount, a specific property (such as a residence or land), or a percentage of your estate to the Land of PureGold Foundation.

You can also indicate that our foundation receive all or a portion of your estate only under certain circumstances such as there being no surviving spouse or children.

Finally, after your estate pays all debts, taxes, specific bequests, and expenses, the remaining amount (or a portion of it) could be given to the Land of PureGold Foundation. Click here for our bequest informational document.
