Want to make a difference for animals in your community? Host your own fundraiser in support of the Guelph Humane Society (GHS)!

There are countless ways to support animals in need, and a community fundraiser is a fun, flexible, and meaningful way to turn something you love into real impact. Every fundraiser—big or small—helps provide hope, care and compassion to more than 3,000 animals each year.

And you don’t have to do it alone. Our Events Team is here to support you along the way.

Your Fundraiser. Your Ideas. Their Second Chance.
