Thank you for having a pet candidate in the Pet Partners Pet of the Year fundraising competition!

Below are instructions on how to turn in donations to Pet Partners for your pet's campaign. Please note, fundraising starts on February 5, so all donate buttons will go live on this date.

When fundraising, encourage your donors to use your pet's page to donate. It is simple and secure, and they are given a tax receipt immediately. 

Directions for Donors:

• Go to petpartners.org/petoftheyear and click Donate on the right.
• In the search box, look up the name of the candidate you'd like your donation to count toward and select them.
• Click the pink Donate button on the right side of the screen.
• On the donation form, enter the amount you'd like to donate, your personal information, and payment information. Don't forget to provide some words of encouragement for the candidate after you submit your payment!

Turning in Donations Through Your Candidate Page:

• If you receive cash, you can deposit the money and then enter a donation from your own account. Simply follow the directions above to enter these gifts with your credit or debit card.
• You can add check and money order donations through your candidate page before you mail them to the Pet Partners office. It is important to enter any checks or money orders as soon as you receive them to ensure the amounts are counted towards your fundraising competition total.
• Log in to your candidate page and select the Ask for donations and thank donors button at the bottom left dashboard panel.
• Click Enter cash/checks in the middle of the page to enter the gifts. When you've filled in all the information, click Submit.
• Follow the instructions below to mail in the check or cash.

Please note, all money orders and checks must be received in the mail by March 18 at 5 p.m. CT to be credited to your candidate's fundraising efforts. Plan accordingly to ensure offline donations are received by the Pet Partners office by the deadline. Any money received after this date will not count towards the candidate's fundraising total.

If you have secured sponsorship, crypto, monthly pledges, or matching gifts, we will need written or email confirmation the payments have been fully submitted by March 18 at 11:59 p.m. CT to be credited towards the candidate's fundraising total.

Please mail checks and money orders to:

Pet Partners
Attn: POTY
345 118th Ave SE, Suite 100
