Gifts to MN SNAP are tax deductible!
Every dollar counts! At MN SNAP, donor dollars are put to the most efficient and effective use possible.
See how MN SNAP donor dollars are utilized.
MN SNAP incurs many expenses in order to subsidize more than 17,000 surgeries per year. Just our fuel costs for the mobile surgery
suite exceed $25,000 every year! General operating funds help us to continue to deliver our mission across the state.
Other ways to contribute:
Many MN SNAP supporters wish to partially or fully subsidize a surgery, help pay for supplies or sponsor a clinic. The links below take you to our fundraising pages, which outline options for directing your gift.
- MN SNAP Vet Supplies Fund
- MN SNAP’s Fix-a-Feral Grant Fund (covers the cost of surgery for a feral cat caregiver)
Workplace giving programs are a way to leverage your donation with your employer’s ability to process and even match your dollars. Ask if your employer sponsors a workplace giving program.
If your employer supports a workplace giving program, your employer’s payroll department handles everything! Donations to MN SNAP from each paycheck add up to a significant gift over a one-year period. Many employers will match your monetary donation to MN SNAP, allowing your money to work twice as hard at saving animals by reducing overpopulation. You can help MN SNAP by finding out if your company has a corporate giving program or foundation. Many companies also match funds to time spent volunteering, offering a set number of dollars in exchange for time contributed to the organization.
Below is a sample list of companies who have established workplace giving and/or matching gift programs. If your company is on the list, please submit a match form with each MN SNAP donation. If your company is not on the list, your HR department should know if they participate and provide you with a match form.

Leave a legacy that will help save lives by reducing pet overpopulation!
A planned gift or legacy gift will help to ensure that MN SNAP will be there for those pets and families in need. These gifts provide an estate tax deduction and have a tremendous impact on our ability to continue our ongoing mission to help end the death and suffering of homeless animals due to pet overpopulation by providing high-quality, affordable, and accessible spay and neuter services to those in need.
In recent years, a variety of donors has informed us of an intention to include a gift to MN SNAP in their wills. Considerations for giving include the purpose of the gift, funding source, impact to income, estate tax planning and impact on family members from your contribution.
Please consult with your legal counsel to help best decide the process and necessary language.
United Way processes workplace payroll deductions and will forward to the charity of your choice. While animal related charities can’t be United Way agencies, supporters may donate to MN SNAP through United Way. You may make your donation to MN SNAP through United Way as follows:
