Corporate giving

Your brand.
Real impact.
Yuma can see it.

We don't sell naming rights or promise you a gala. We offer something rarer — complete transparency, a community that pays attention, and animals whose lives are genuinely different because your business showed up.

Saint Francis runs on zero overhead. No development office. No paid staff. No administrative layer between your dollars and the animals they're meant to help. What that means for a corporate partner is unusual: every dollar you give is a dollar we can account for — a bag of feed, a vet visit, a hoof trim that keeps a horse sound. We'll tell you what we spent it on. That's not a marketing promise. It's just how we operate.

We've been doing this work in Yuma for over a decade. The community follows us because they've watched animals come in broken and leave whole. A corporate partnership here isn't a line item in a charitable giving budget — it's a story your employees, customers, and neighbors already know the ending to.

Ways to partner

Six ways to make it real

Pick one or combine several. We'll work around your team's capacity, your giving calendar, and what actually makes sense for your business.

Matched Giving

Your team donates; you double it. We'll give you one clean number to match — no compliance forms, no layered reporting, no overhead on our end eating into the match. You'll see exactly what the combined gift funded.

Employee Volunteer Days

Bring your team to the sanctuary for a half or full day of real, physical work — feeding, mucking, fence repair, animal socialization. It's the kind of team-building people actually remember. We'll take care of the rest.

In-Kind Donations

Feed, hay, fencing, lumber, medical supplies, gift cards to farm suppliers. If your business produces it, sells it, or can source it, there's a good chance we can put it directly to work. No middleman, no markup.

Sponsor a Specific Need

Underwrite one thing completely — a season of farrier visits, a surgical fund, a new goat enclosure, the water system repair we've been nursing along. You'll know what your money did, down to the invoice.

Host a Fundraiser

Round up at the register. Dedicate a sales day. Host a raffle or a field trip. We'll support you with content, the story, and whatever it takes to make your fundraiser something your customers want to participate in.

Donate Your Expertise

Veterinary care, large-animal hauling, construction, electrical, printing, bookkeeping. Professional services donated in-kind stretch every cash donation further and solve problems money sometimes can't. We value skills as much as checks.

501(c)(3) · EIN 99-0599742

Fully tax-deductible.
Completely traceable.

Every dollar of your corporate partnership is deductible to the extent permitted by law — and every dollar reaches the animals. There's no overhead layer between your giving and its effect. If your CFO wants receipts and documentation, we'll have them waiting.
