Create a fundraising page for TCHS:

GiveMN.org underwent a major overhaul in mid-August, 2018, so it may look different to you if you have been here before! Some options may have changed.

• Start at https://www.givemn.org/organization/Tri-County-Humane-Society-1 
• Log in if you already have an account - click the "person" icon in the upper right corner
• If you don't have an account you don't have to create one, but it does make it easier to retain your settings
• Make sure you have selected Tri-County Humane Society - 237449686 - St Cloud - MN as your charity
• Choose a name for your fundraising page and set a goal.
• Share your story, adding pictures if you like, and let people know why you support TCHS and want to help animals in need.
• Share your fundraising page with friends, family and co-workers.
