Benefits of Partnering With Joybound

  • Companies benefit from association with a national, high-profile, and prestigious non-profit organization.
  • Joybound’s programs serve a variety of community interests that will appeal to customers, clients, and employees. 
  • Increase company exposure in print and broadcast media, signage, web, and event program acknowledgment. 
  • Show community support for children, seniors, Veterans, and people in disadvantaged circumstances, all with the goal of bringing people and animals together to enrich each other’s lives.
  • Joybound events provide excellent opportunities to show customer, client, and employee appreciation.

Sponsor an Event or Adoptions

Maximize your brand exposure at one of Joybound’s signature events, such as Joybound Around Town, a free, pet-friendly community festival. Alternatively, sponsor a Joybound adoption event! Your company will be featured as your donation waives adoption fees for all available animals for a day, a weekend, or a whole week! Inquire about adoption sponsorship.

Host a Benefit Event

No one knows the corporate culture better than your employees. Planning a benefit event allows your company the freedom to reflect that culture and directly support animals and people in need. Learn more about hosting a fundraiser to benefit the animals, or submit an event inquiry today.

Promote Saving Lives

Spreading the word about our lifesaving mission can be as easy as a mention in your corporate publications. Many companies like Safeway, Men’s Wearhouse, and Chevron have used employee newsletters to highlight adoptable animals, upcoming events, or our unique programs like the Pet Hug Pack®, our therapy animal program.

Encourage Employee Involvement

The community service of employees enriches not only your staff, but also appeals to discerning customers. AT&T, PG&E, and Macy’s make it easy for employees to become involved in the community by conducting United Way Employee Giving Campaigns, which are held on-site and give employees a chance to discover first-hand about volunteer and donation opportunities. Our team can visit your workplace and assist your company in setting up a charitable campaign.

Our Partnerships

We greatly benefit from the ongoing generosity of our corporate and foundation partners. Their support of life-changing programs for animals and people enables us to save more lives every day.
