Giving Tuesday
Join Safe Haven on Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday – the global day of charitable giving – is December 2nd, and animals in crisis cannot wait. We urgently need to replenish our Emergency Rescue and Care Fund so we can respond the moment an animal needs us. Will you make your Giving Tuesday gift now to save a life?
REPLENISH OUR EMERGENCY RESCUE AND CARE FUND
Animals like Bonnie depend on this fund. Bonnie escaped a slaughter-bound future and wandered – terrified and exhausted – right to Safe Haven’s doorstep. She instantly bonded with Owen, our rescued bull, as if she knew she had finally found safety. But rescuing Bonnie wasn’t simple. It took weeks of negotiation before the farm owner agreed to surrender her. We could not let her go back.
Friend of Safe Haven, because of supporters like you, Bonnie now lives in peace and freedom.
But many more animals like her are still waiting. And we can only say “yes” when our Emergency Rescue and Care Fund is full.
Your gift – $25, $100, $500, or any amount – provides emergency transport, urgent medical care, and safe, lifelong sanctuary.
Your support today could mean the difference between life and death for the next animal like Bonnie.
You don’t have to wait for Giving Tuesday. Make your lifesaving gift now.
REPLENISH OUR EMERGENCY AND RESCUE CARE FUND

You can also make a powerful impact for rescued farm animals by considering the tax free benefits of gifting stock or a qualified charitable distribution.
Gifting Stock: Donating appreciated stock is an easy and economical way to give more to a cause you care about. By donating stock directly to Safe Haven Farm Sanctuary, you could be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the shares, and therefore avoid paying capital gains taxes. This allows you to make a more significant gift that will have an even greater impact on our rescued farm animals.
Qualified Charitable Distribution: Another way to save on your taxes while making a powerful impact on rescued farm animals is to make a tax-free gift from your IRA to Safe Haven Farm Sanctuary. If you are age 70 ½ or older and have a traditional individual retirement account (IRA), you may make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to a qualified charity. A QCD can total up to $100,000 per year and can be used to satisfy your required minimum distribution. There is no income tax on the funds leaving your IRA and being gifted to the charity.

Why Give? You’re Making a Difference!
Donations big and small are the life source for nonprofits. Whether you’re a large company looking to match donations or a single person who can give a few dollars, Giving Tuesday is an opportunity to support the charities that mean something to you.
For Safe Haven Farm Sanctuary, every donation makes a difference. Each contribution made to Safe Haven gives power to our cause and shows us that we are not alone in our fight for farmed animals. Donations to Safe Haven go towards fulfilling our mission: to rescue abused and neglected farmed animals, to restore them to health, and to provide them with a safe and loving forever home.
Rescuing and Transforming Lives Thanks to Your Help
Safe Haven Farm Sanctuary has come a long way thanks to the support of our generous donors and advocates. Our progress proves that a few dollars from every person can produce powerful impacts. Since our founding in 2008, we have rescued hundreds of farmed animals destined for slaughter and currently provide a lifelong, loving home for more than 170, many of whom need intensive medical treatment to help restore them to good health.
We have attracted over 11,000 Facebook friends and nearly 14,000 Instagram followers, hosted several local events, including an annual thanksgiving celebration for the turkeys. In November of 2019, we moved to a 52 acre location so that we can rescue more animals from abuse and slaughter. None of our animal rescues, accomplishments, or growth would have been possible without your support. It is not just large donors who grant us the power to grow and improve the lives of these animals, but also the small recurring donations, the dollars sent our way on social media, the birthday fundraisers, and the pledges for recurring donations.
There Is Still Work To Do and More Lives to Rescue
Our accomplishments are still overshadowed by the tremendous number of animals who remain suffering on factory farms, and by the millions of people who remain unaware of the inhuman treatment and suffering of farm animals. There is a long road ahead. Join us in our mission and together we can build a better future for farm animals.
