About Victoria Humane Society

Overview

Victoria Humane Society's mission is to provide leadership to improve the lives of animals by rescuing, sheltering, healing, adopting, and advocating for animals in need. They aim to inspire community action and compassion on behalf of animals, providing safe refuge, compassionate care, and forever homes for animals in need in British Columbia. The organization strives to change the way people think about animal welfare, focusing on doing what is right for the animals. Through education and advocacy, they aim to promote responsible pet ownership, raise awareness about animal neglect and abuse, and address overpopulation issues. Victoria Humane Society values their volunteers and operates with integrity, transparency, and financial sustainability.

Mission

To provide leadership to improve the lives of animals by alleviating their suffering or neglect. We do this by rescuing, sheltering, healing, adopting and advocating for animals in need, while inspiring community action and compassion on their behalf. To provide safe refuge, compassionate care and forever homes for B.C. animals in need.

Vision

To think differently about animal welfare, led by this guiding principle: Are we doing the right thing for these animals? To foster community understanding of the issues of responsible pet ownership, animal neglect and abuse, and overpopulation, through education and advocacy. To respect and honour the heart and soul of our organization - our volunteers. To operate our programs with integrity and transparency, in a manner that secures a financially viable future through a strong commitment to fundraising, volunteer and membership development.

Unique Value Proposition

The Victoria Humane Society accepts dogs, cats, and small animals from Victoria, Vancouver Island, and across BC, who have been abandoned, mistreated or can no longer be cared for by their owners. In some instances, we partner with other rescue organizations to help save animals in dire need. Through a unique network of volunteers and foster homes, animals are placed with qualified and compassionate individuals before they transition to permanent homes, providing adopting families with insight into each animal's unique personality and suitability for their home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

WellFunded eliminates the inefficiencies, inequities and ineffectiveness of traditional fundraising by centralizing and standardizing the process. Instead of spending time on endless grant applications, you create a single, detailed profile that philanthropists and foundations can easily discover and fund. Our other tools like our centralized due diligence tool and "2 click grants" (coming soon) build off of this core concept: that we can make things radically better by centralizing them on one common platform.

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and if your charity matches their preferences, you will automatically be notified in your dashboard, and can send your portrait onward right through to their WellFunded dashboard. Sort of like applying to a job through LinkedIn Easy Apply.

WellFunded charges philanthropists presently. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. However, we will always have a free tier. We will introduce pricing once enough active donors use the platform to influence giving.

Instead of relying on cold proposals or personal networks, WellFunded helps you get in front of philanthropists actively looking to give in your area of impact. With advanced search tools and standardized due diligence, your work speaks for itself—helping you build trust and attract new donors.

Charity profiles include leadership information, financial data, and clear funding needs. Philanthropists can also see impact reports and follow the giving activity of other donors, creating a more open and transparent ecosystem.

Yes. WellFunded prioritizes data security and does not sell or share your private information outside the platform.
