PetNamy is a crowdfunding platform for people and animal-related organizations that want to help animals needing support or adoption.  The goal is to involve the community in choosing a name for the animal for fun, especially if it doesn't have one.

Using PetNamy is not just about finding names for animals. By showcasing the animals available for adoption or with medical needs, PetNamy aids in finding new homes, including helping the non-profit raise funding so it can help more animals.

Signing up is free for non-profits to use for fundraisers. There are NO costs for creating and managing campaigns. Sponsors donate funds as gifts to the fundraiser.

Anyone can sponsor names on your fundraiser. They can choose from the listed names or suggest their own to add to the fundraiser.

Sponsors are welcome to suggest names for the animal. This allows for a creative and varied naming process. 

They can be as big as an elephant or as small as a mouse. We do not have insects on our list. Pretty much any animal in your legal care or a foster in conjunction with the Animal Rescue, etc.

Creating a fundraising campaign on PetNamy is for 501(c)(3) organization is easy. First, sign in and click the "Start your PetNamy" button. Then, provide the necessary information, such as the animal's title, description, and photos. After that, you can invite others to join in the excitement of naming and sharing the animal with them. It is important to remember that you can create a fundraiser for each animal in your care. 

These are starter names the Fundraiser starts with to express the kind of names they are looking for. Up to three initial name suggestions can be made for each first and middle name. This helps people suggest what kind of names they may suggest and sponsor. The more they like the name, the more they’ll donate! 

Absolutely. You can choose a name that resonates with you, even if it's not the highest sponsored name. This may sadden those who funded the first-place name.

Of course, unacceptable names are not counted.

The Non-Profit 501(c)(3) organization gets all the funds for their own campaigns. 

You're impacting the lives of animals and supporting organizations in need. Organizations like local animal rescues, sanctuaries, fosters, etc..  They can use PetNamy to raise much-needed funds to help more animals.

All submitted donations will go to the animal rescue organization.  At the end of the month, the funds from completed campaigns are combined and sent to the non-profit.

PetNamy fundraisers are designed to run for 60 days. You can end them earlier, say after 30 days, which we recommend as the minimum. But campaigns must run for at least 10 days before you can end them. You may end your fundraiser when the animal is ready to be relocated to its new home or, unfortunately, if the animal has passed away.

PetNamy will make a one-time payment to the campaign organizer in approximately three business days via an ACH deposit or a check at the end of the month with funds from completed combined campaigns.
