Other Ways to Give Smarter

If you are interested in donating through one of these methods, please contact us!

  • Bring DVA to your Workplace!

    An employer matching donation program is when an employer matches the donations made to a charity by an employee.

    Your workplace may have a donation matching program where they will match any donations you make to registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations like DVA. These matching programs are available at nearly 10,000 U.S. companies (and at many Canadian companies too). Please consider checking with your human resources department. If they have a matching program, taking advantage of it is usually as simple as filling out a form.

    For questions or more information please contact us. We will never share your information.

  • A Giving Account is a personal charitable fund you can create to support Dharma Voices for Animals. It’s like having your own mini foundation. You donate money into your Giving Account, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then take your time to decide which DVA projects you wish to support. It’s a flexible and efficient way to make a difference and leave a lasting impact on the world.

    For questions or more information please contact us. We will never share your information.

  • The ultimate gift you can make is to choose to leave a meaningful legacy.

    By making DVA a beneficiary of your will, trust, retirement plans, life insurance policy or financial accounts, your generous gift will empower us to continue to develop innovative projects and actions to spread our message of a compassionate diet around the globe. In doing so we will together save the lives of countless, precious animals.

    Planned giving is an area of fundraising that refers to several specific gift types that can be funded with cash, equity, or property. These gift vehicles are commonly based on United States tax law, but Canada, the United Kingdom, and other nations are beginning to establish similar laws. In the United States the specific rules of planned giving are defined by the United States Congress and the Internal Revenue Service.
