MFOA Protector’ 
Two years ago, in celebration of our 25 years of being Maine’s voice for animals, Maine Friends of Animals has created the ‘MFOA Protectors’. This donation program is designed for committed supporters to provide focus to specific goals and with a more predictable source of income. Become a part of a team of fellow ‘protectors’ in increasing our capacities to combat animal abuse, neglect, cruelty and suffering in Maine. Join our new community of supporters and help bring MFOA to the next level.
- It is an easy, efficient and tax-deductible way to make a difference all year long.
- A monthly donation will eliminate ‘renewal’ notices, as well as save on mailings and costly fundraising expenses. With a predictable income pledge, we can plan and budget specifically and see your donation going toward a goal.
- Gift can be easily done through a credit card or your bank account. At any time you can change the method of payment or the amount, or cancel. Just give us a 30 day notice to make any changes for you. Any questions just call 207-781-2187 or email at info@mfoa.net
- All monthly donors receive an annual statement reflecting the year’s total donation.
- A $10 monthly donation means that for as little as 30 cents a day you can be part of a new team to help address animal cruelty in Maine — for less than the cost of a small coffee each day, you can be a ‘MFOA Protector’.
- If you become a member of our top-level team in combatting inhumane actions and policies, you will receive an MFOA bumper sticker and ‘MFOA Protector’ 16 oz. mug.
Here are a few examples of what a ‘MFOA Protector’ monthly donation can accomplish:
$10 - Can purchase 250 MFOA bumper stickers
$15 - Can pay for MFOA tabling / event fees
$20 - Can cover the costs in saving a Maine ‘dog-chained-for-life’
$25 - Can cover the costs of mailings to the state legislators on a cruelty bill
$50 - Can cover the travel or housing cost for an important supporter to testify at a hearing on a MFOA bill
$100 - Can increase the budget to support MFOA programs
$250 - Can provide funding for another part time staff position
$500 - Can pay for TV ads supporting an animal protection issue and/or legislation
Real goals we can achieve with predictable revenue. Be sure to check the box making your gift recurring.
Every gift saves lives. If you would rather a one time gift, you can leave a specific a month in the ‘other’ box, and do not check the recurring donation box.
Donations can also be sent by mail to:

Be a part of Maine’s largest and leading animal protection organization and join us in fighting against injustices and suffering many Maine animals still endure. Be a ‘MFOA Protector’ today and make a difference year round.

Love Lives on Through Action, Memory and Legacy
The Legacy Circle consists of MFOA supporters who have expressed an interest in planned giving to benefit MFOA and the animals we work so hard to protect. They are composed of generous and forward-thinking donors who have chosen to support our long-term success through a planned gift. A bequest to Maine Friends of Animals is a wonderful way to express your enduring love for protecting animals as part of your legacy.
Creating a will or trust is something many people put off until later in life, but in truth, directing your assets —whether modest or significant — is an expression of the love for the people and the causes you care most about. It’s not complicated or costly, and you don’t need great wealth to do it. There are numerous creative and flexible giving options that can help ensure the sustainability of Maine Friends of Animals in a way that honors your core values, and makes a difference in our vital work to protect innocent animals for another 30 years and beyond.

Maine Friends of Animals Needs More Friends!
You can support MFOA without volunteering or even donating!
The more donors we have the more we can do for more animals. Who do you know that loves animals and has great empathy for those that are misstreated, abused, or worse? Do you know a co-worker, neighbor, relative, church member, social acquaintance, or community activist who would consider becoming a donor member of MFOA? All you need to do is just make a phone call or have a chat over coffee and have your friend go to ‘Support’ at https://mfoa.net; and let us know at info@mfoa.net who the new member is that has donated. We will send you a MFOA mug and bumper sticker as a thank you for the referral and growing our MFOA team.
