Micro-donations for animal rescue – every purchase adds up to life-saving care
Round up spare change for dogs with RoundUp.org – a platform that lets you donate your spare change. Every time you make a purchase with a linked card, RoundUp rounds up the total to the nearest dollar – and the difference goes directly to Hope Paws Support Fund.
A $10.30 coffee becomes $11.00. The extra $0.70 helps save a dog’s life.
It is that simple. You shop. We get the spare change. Dogs get emergency vet care, rescue pulls, safe transport, and adoption support.
When you round up spare change for dogs, every purchase – no matter how small – adds up to life-saving care.
How It Works
Step 1: Go to Hope Paws Support Fund profile on RoundUp.org
Note: If the link does not work, search for “Hope Paws Support Fund” or EIN: 414118400 within the RoundUp website.
Step 2: Click on the “Start Rounding Up” button
You will see a button on our profile page. Click it to begin the setup process.
Step 3: Set Monthly Donation Maximum (optional)
You can choose a monthly cap – for example, $10, $20, or $50. This ensures you never round up more than you are comfortable with. If you do not set a cap, RoundUp will apply to all eligible purchases.
Step 4: Enroll a credit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo
RoundUp accepts Visa and Mastercard. Your card information is encrypted and secure. You can link multiple cards if you wish.
Step 5: Shop normally – RoundUp does the rest
Once you are set up, nothing changes about how you shop. Use your linked card as you normally would – for coffee, groceries, gas, online shopping, bills, anything.
At the end of each month, RoundUp calculates the total spare change from all your purchases. That total amount is sent directly to Hope Paws Support Fund.
Round ups happen automatically. You do not need to do anything else.
