Donation Opportunities
Whether you give $25, $2,500, or $25,000, your gift will make an impact for Heartland for many years to come. Gifts of any size can be given through our donation buttons. We cannot complete our new home without your help and Heartland is honored to have your support!
If you have any questions about naming opportunities or donations, please email Gabriella Keresi-Uresti at gabby@heartlandanimalshelter.org or call (847)-294-6400 ext. 1010.
All donations towards our campaign of $500 or more will be included in a permanent display at our new building. The options will be a personalized dog bone tag or a cat fish tag and we will have a special unveiling of our permanent display for all our donors to see.
When you donate to our campaign, you will be leaving a life-long legacy at Heartland Animal Shelter. There are multiple naming opportunities because we want to ensure that everyone is able to make a significant impact on our new home.
