Giving Groups & Memorial Donations


The Giving Groups recognition program ended in 2018. Thank you, donors! For some well-earned recognition for your PSDP donations, we encourage you to brag on social media (start a Facebook fundraiser with seed money!) or join in PSDP’s sponsorship program.


Join our gift-givers recognition club and help create the change you want to see! We also respectfully host a memorial donation section. Experience our community’s love and share memories in honor of loved ones. (We also have higher-level sponsorship opportunities available.)

Where do *you* fit in?

When you invest in PSDP with a donation, we invite you to join the names listed as members of a giving level group for the year (we’re happy to use initials or first names only). For our devoted donors, there are even special designations for repeat and automatic/recurring investments within the year!

This is entirely optional, but letting us share this information about the support of our amazing community helps us galvanize others to join in. Essentially, joining a giving level group is a way to increase your donation by encouraging others—everyone wants to join the pack and run with the big dogs!
