Save The Animals Foundation

What Save The Animals Foundation does

Save The Animals Foundation (STAF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID #22-3478554) registered in New Jersey and operating as an all-volunteer group with no paid staff. The organization is headquartered at a P.O. Box in Deptford, NJ, serving pet owners and rescue organizations in Gloucester and Camden Counties through a certificate-based model for low-cost spay/neuter services and emergency veterinary financial assistance. Its core programs are the Spay/Neuter Certificate Program, the Don Williams Animal Healing Fund (established December 2006 in memory of Donald H. Williams), and the STAF Medical Financial Assistance program (up to $50 per eligible client), delivered through a network of more than 10 participating veterinary hospitals across South Jersey.

STAF operates without proprietary technology, relying on a WordPress website, PayPal donation infrastructure, and phone/email-based certificate fulfillment. Services are delivered through a community-led go-to-market motion: participating veterinarians refer qualifying clients; pet owners contact STAF by phone or email to purchase certificates; certificates are mailed and redeemed at partner clinics. Ancillary revenue programs include Kindness Cards (minimum $10 contribution), toner and ink cartridge recycling ($2-$10 per cartridge), and a Simple Will service ($75 donation, with attorney Craig Klayman of Woodbury, NJ providing pro-bono legal services).

STAF's revenue is generated through multiple small streams: individual and corporate donations, certificate sales, recycling rebates, greeting card sales, and affiliate referrals from GoodSearch and GoodShop. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors led by President Pam Young, with no paid executives, no parent company, and no institutional investors. Geographic reach is concentrated in Gloucester and Camden Counties, NJ, with no disclosed expansion beyond the existing footprint. No financial figures are publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Donations and Contributions: STAF operates as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID #22-3478554). The primary revenue stream is donations from individuals, corporations, and memorial/tribute gifts. Donations are solicited through fundraising events, placement of donation jars at local businesses, corporate sponsors, grant proposals, and public contributions. Donations can be made via PayPal or by mailing a check to the STAF PO Box.
2. Spay/Neuter Certificate Sales: STAF sells low-cost spay/neuter certificates that pet owners redeem at participating veterinary hospitals. Certificate pricing is obtained by contacting STAF directly. The organization coordinates with partner veterinarians to subsidize the cost of surgeries.
3. Toner and Ink Cartridge Recycling: STAF collects and recycles ink jet, laser, and toner cartridges from printers and copiers. The organization earns between $2 and $10 per cartridge depending on the type, with all postage paid by the recycler. This generates small revenue while supporting environmental goals.
4. Kindness Cards: STAF sells customized greeting cards (memorial and occasion cards) featuring donated artwork for a minimum contribution of $10. Cards are ordered via PayPal or by mailing a check, and STAF mails the customized card to the designated recipient within 10 days.
5. GoodSearch / GoodShop: STAF earns donations through the GoodSearch.com search engine (approximately one penny per search) and GoodShop.com online mall (up to 30% of purchases) when users designate STAF as their charity. STAF also promotes its own toolbar to generate ongoing small contributions from online activity.

• Don Williams Animal Healing Fund Financial assistance program providing funds on an as-needed basis through veterinary referral to help cover medical costs for sick or injured pets owned by clients who cannot afford care, and for rescue animals needing life-saving treatment. Funds are distributed via participating veterinarians rather than directly to pet owners.
• STAF Medical Financial Assistance Program offering up to $50 in financial assistance for veterinary costs to clients of veterinarians who participate in STAF's low-cost spay/neuter program. Veterinarians identify and refer qualifying clients; STAF distributes funds as needed through veterinary referral.

Regional players

• Animal Welfare Association (NJ): Operates a low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Voorhees, NJ — same South Jersey geography as STAF and a documented certificate-redeemable partner, making it both a peer and a channel partner.

Broad incumbents

• ASPCA: National animal-welfare organization running spay/neuter, veterinary access, and rescue programs — referenced alongside STAF's local mission and operates the same dual mandate of prevention and direct animal care.
• Best Friends Animal Society: National no-kill advocacy and program-grant organization running community cat (TNR) and shelter-support programs — operates at national scale across overlapping mission areas.
• Maddie's Fund: Family foundation dedicated to achieving no-kill communities through veterinary care grants, lifesaving programs, and shelter innovation — closely aligned with STAF's veterinary-financial-aid and overpopulation-prevention work.
• The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS): National animal-welfare organization with deep spay/neuter programming and pet-overpopulation advocacy — STAF even cites HSUS research on its website, signaling that its messaging tracks HSUS's national framework.
• PetSmart Charities: National foundation funding spay/neuter programs across thousands of shelters and rescues — operates at vastly larger scale but addresses the same subsidized sterilization problem that STAF's certificate program tackles regionally.
• Petco Love: National animal-welfare foundation (formerly Petco Foundation) funding adoption, spay/neuter, and veterinary care access — overlaps strongly with STAF's mission across all three program areas.

Direct peers

• Alley Cat Allies: Advocacy and field-services nonprofit focused on trap-neuter-return (TNR) and subsidized spay/neuter for community cats — directly aligned with STAF's spay/neuter certificate mission, particularly the overpopulation-prevention narrative.
• RedRover: National nonprofit providing emergency veterinary financial assistance for pet owners in crisis — directly mirrors STAF's Don Williams Animal Healing Fund and Medical Financial Assistance model, but at national scale.
