D'Arcy's A.R.C. is incredibly fortunate in that it is supported by an internal fundraising committee as well as having several friends of the animals that go out of their way to organize events that directly benefit our mission.
If you would like to join our fundraising team, or perhaps you have an idea but aren't sure how to pull it all together to make it happen, please send us an email - or give us a call, we'd love to talk to you!

Some Ideas

 Garage sales are a great way to clear out those things you don't use. Every year, D'Arcy's ARC hosts a large garage sale.
Who doesn't love a bake sale? Let use know when and where so we can give you some promotional materials for your table.
Maybe you're crafty and can make products that we are able to sell at the shelter or thrift store?
For many years, the woof walk was one of our biggest events. Perhaps you'd like to help start it up again?
It was a great opportunity for us to see alumni and their owners again, as well as meet new friends.
One easy way to raise money for the shelter is to ask friends and family to donate on your behalf, for birthdays or other special events.
We always appreciate an invitation to an event that you are organising. We love to come and educate the public about our shelter and mission.
Maybe you just want an excuse to get together with friends? A pancake breakfast to raise funds for the shelter is as good as any!

What we ask


Let us know before using our name or logo for an event, we will provide written authorization to use them. We reserve the right to withdraw the use of our name/logo at any time, and will not assume any costs that may be involved in doing so.
If the event is cancelled, the event organizer agrees to contact us at least 48 hours prior to the event.
We will not assume any legal or financial responsibility and are not responsible for any damage or accidents to persons or property.
If our logo or name is to be used in any printed form (e.g. brochures, flyers, posters, banners, etc.) it must be approved prior to production.
We have a legal obligation to be consistent with Canada Customs and Revenue Agency guidelines. To ensure there is a distinction between D'arcy's ARC Inc. and all third party events, the event organizer must handle all monies until an official donation is made.
We cannot issue tax receipts for donated services or paid services (e.g., graphic design, advertising, construction, entertainment, tent set-up etc.), or for product sales.
All promotional materials must clearly state the percentage of proceeds that will benefit D'arcys ARC with money raised to be received within 90 days of the event.
We can issue tax receipts to event donors providing our charitable registration number is displayed on all event materials and we receive a clearly written list of the names and addresses of the donors, together with their donation amount.
