corporate pawtners programs
be in the business of helping animals
Businesses that contribute to the Naperville Area Humane Society (NAHS) enable us to make a difference in the lives of more than 700 animals annually and enrich the lives of the people who love them. We welcome the opportunity to partner with companies that have an interest in supporting our lifesaving mission.
When you become a Corporate PAWtner with NAHS, you’re helping to improve the lives of pets while connecting your business to a cause that so many in our community are passionate about. We tailor partnerships toward company-specific interests in order to collaborate and achieve mutually beneficial results. Whether your company wishes to volunteer at the shelter, sponsor a specific event or program or provide matching gift opportunities for employees, all support is encouraged and appreciated.

On-site & Off-site Experiences
OFF-SITE VISITS: From small, intimate employee meetings and gatherings, to large-scale, multi-day events like puppy yoga classes and conferences, our offsite animal visits guarantee smiles while relieving stress and uplifting the mood of your employees.
Your employees will enjoy some kitten cuddles and dog kisses, while our adoptable pets enjoy a well deserved day outside of the shelter.
ON-SITE VISITS: Volunteering as a company provides an incredible opportunity for team building, employee engagement, and corporate social responsibility. By dedicating your time and resources, you can make a positive impact on the lives of countless animals while fostering a sense of compassion and unity within your organization. Whether you looking to have us come out to your place of business or do some team building onsite at the shelter each visit is completely customizable to your company’s needs.

Workplace Giving
Many employers offer employee giving campaigns that allow workers to contribute to a non-profit organization of their choice via payroll deductions. Check with your HR department to see if NAHS is part of your company’s Employee Giving Program, or learn how to include us if we are not.
Employee Match Programs (Double Your Impact)
Many employers offer matching gift programs that double, or even triple charitable contributions made by their employees. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses, too. Check with your HR department to see if your company has a matching program. Click here to see if your company matches.
Corporate Volunteer Hours Match Program
Many companies will match an employee’s volunteering hours with a financial gift to the nonprofit. Reach out to your company’s HR department to see if your company has a volunteer matching hours program.
Corporate Grants
Grants provide valuable funding for NAHS. We have a variety of programs and initiatives which require funding to sustain the lifesaving work that is accomplished. We also need funding to undertake new endeavors to advance the scope of our impact.
UNITED WAY
The Naperville Area Humane Society, while not a United Way agency, is a recognized recipient of the United Way General Campaign. Each fall, many supporters designate NAHS as the recipient of their workplace giving. Please Note: depending on the campaign, you may or may not be able to write in the Naperville Area Humane Society. Check with your United Way coordinator.
