About Donating
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Borrowed Hours is a registered 501(c)(3). Your contribution is 100% tax-deductible. You receive an instant receipt and a year-end summary.
Can I cancel my monthly gift?
Absolutely. Cancel with one click — no calls, no guilt. We value every month you give and never make leaving difficult.
Is the matching donation real?
Yes. A private family foundation committed up to $25,000 in matching funds. Every dollar is matched until exhausted.
What payment methods do you accept?
Credit/debit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay. All payments are processed securely via Stripe or PayPal with 256-bit encryption.
How do I get my tax receipt?
You receive an instant email receipt after every donation. We also send a year-end giving summary every January for tax filing.
About Our Organization
I haven't heard of Borrowed Hours — are you legitimate?
We're family-run, not a household name. But we've operated since 2014, are a verified 501(c)(3), and have rescued 14,000+ animals. Our EIN, annual reports, and board details are publicly available.
Learn more →Where does my money go?
94 cents of every dollar goes directly to rescue operations, veterinary care, rehabilitation, foster placement, and legislative advocacy. Just 6% covers essential operations.
How are you different from the ASPCA or Humane Society?
We specialize in applied rescue — we physically go into the field for puppy mills, fighting rings, hoarding, and equine neglect. We handle the cases others can't.
Do you publish financial reports?
