Donation Jars Made

Fundraise for MARS
Rally your workplace, church, school, or circle to support rescue pets — your way. 

Our community has always been at the heart of Midwest Animal Rescue & Services. Fundraising doesn’t have to be big or complicated to make a difference — and anyone can do it.

Fundraise for MARS is a simple, flexible way for individuals, families, and groups to support rescue pets in their own communities.  

Anyone Can Fundraise for MARS
You don’t need experience, approval, or a big plan. Whether it’s a donation jar at work, a small group fundraiser, or sharing with your circle, every effort helps us say yes to more pets in need. There’s no minimum, no pressure, and no “right” way to fundraise — just your way.  

How It Works

1. Choose a fundraising idea that feels right for you
2. Use our ready-made resources to get started
3. Collect donations or share digitally
4. Celebrate the impact you helped make

We’ve created simple tools to guide you every step of the way.
