Chautauqua County Humane Society

How is the Chautauqua County Humane Society funded?

The Chautauqua County Humane Society is a nonprofit organization that does not receive ongoing city, county, state, or federal funding. Most of the funds that are necessary to run our organization are raised through donations from our generous community, special event fundraising, and grants. To support CCHS, you can donate online here.

CCHS is NOT supported by any national animal welfare organizations like HSUS or ASPCA.

We are a local nonprofit organization and not funded by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), or any other national group. When making a donation to the ASPCA and HSUS, you are not making a donation to CCHS. However, the ASPCA will support CCHS and our endeavors, including event sponsorships and grant monies.
