BACKGROUND:

In 1998, the Animal Benefit Fund was created by the Animal Services Department to allow the Department to receive donations from individuals, animal welfare organizations and businesses, to support animal health and welfare projects that are not funded by departmental or general County revenue. On April 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors delegated specific authority to the Animal Services Director, to accept any monetary donation, gift, bequest, or device made to or in favor of the Contra Costa County Animal Services Department, as allowed under Government Code section 25355, and to solicit donations for the benefit of shelter animals. Along with this delegated authority, the Animal Services Director is required to file a report with the Board of Supervisors every quarter that describes the source and value of each gift.

During the quarter ending March 31, 2022, Animal Services received $63,864 in donations. The report detailing all monetary donations received by the Department from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022 is attached. The expenditure of these funds will be included in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Animal Benefit Fund report.
