Give to the Max Day is Ruff Start Rescue’s largest fundraiser of the year - and in 2026, we’re opening the doors to more.
More animals in need. More families searching for resources and support. More communities looking for access to veterinary care, pet food, education, and services that help keep people and pets together.
As the need continues to grow, so does our commitment to answering the call - and matching gifts are one of the most powerful ways to inspire our community to join us.
Matching funds give every donor the opportunity to see their generosity go twice as far while creating excitement, urgency, and momentum throughout our Give to the Max Day campaign. A $25 gift becomes $50. A $100 gift becomes $200. Together, those gifts add up to thousands of lives impacted.
By committing a matching gift ahead of Give to the Max Day, you aren't simply making a donation - you're inspiring hundreds of others to give alongside you.
In 2026, our goal is to raise $325,000 to help Ruff Start Rescue continue opening the doors to more animals and people who need us.
Will you help us open the doors to more by becoming a 2026 Give to the Max Day matching gift partner?
