Paws of Honor Accepts Stock Donations
Making a stock donation to support Paws of Honor (POH) enables us to provide veterinary care and products for retired military and law enforcement K9s who have served our country, locally or globally.
Your stock donation will help retired K9s receive high-quality veterinary care in return for their commitment and sacrifice for our country. The monetary burden associated with veterinary care should not fall on the shoulders of the officer/handler/owner once the K9 has been decommissioned.
Support Paws of Honor by making a charitable gift in stock. We accept donations in publicly traded, domestic common stocks.

Why does Paws of Honor accept stock?
Stock fundraising is a critical donation revenue driver for nonprofit organizations like Paws of Honor.
With over 60% of Americans owning stock and billions in stock donated to US charities every year, stock donations can make a wide-reaching impact through philanthropy. Studies show that nonprofits that accept noncash assets typically grow 50% faster than those that do not and they grow 66% faster when they accept non cash securities such as stock.
