  2. Call us at 800-227-4645 or email [email protected] to inform us of your gift, or should you have any questions.
  3. Let us know your qualified charitable distribution is coming so we can make sure you receive an acknowledgment letter and proper credit for your gift.

Our Legal Name: American Humane Association
