Do you shop at Amazon or Ralphs? Does your employer match donations or give grants for hours volunteered? Do you post on Facebook? Read on to learn ways to raise funds for the animals *for free*.

	AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. Register at AmazonSmile and choose “Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter” as your designated charity.
You Shop – Amazon Gives!	When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to the Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter. **And if you make your first Amazon Smile purchase by March 31st, Amazon will triple its donation!**
	When you shop at Ralphs and use your rewards card, Ralphs will donate a percentage of your purchases to the VBAS. The more you buy, the higher a percentage Ralphs will donate. All you have to do is register the VBAS as your designated charity. It’s free. You shop. You save. We save animals’ lives!
Ralphs Rewards	Go to http://thevbas.org/ralphs and follow the steps to register the VBAS as your charity of choice.

Fundraise on Facebook

Everyone has a birthday! Not sure what to ask for? In lieu of a gift, ask friends on Facebook to donate to help the animals at the shelter. In the area where you write your post, scroll down and click on “Support Nonprofit”, then enter “Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter”. All funds donated will directly benefit our furry friends at the shelter!
