Membership Sign-up
Memberships are on an annual basis. We are always accepting new members. Here are the benefits you will enjoy as a member in The Federation:
- Opportunities to Apply for Grant Funding:
The Federation administers a grant fund for member agencies in order to increase the total number of spay/neuter surgeries performed by their organization. Member agencies can also apply for Emergency Animal Relief funding in the event of a disaster or emergency. For example, to purchase a generator in the event of a flood. - Professional Development & Training:
Members receive notice of upcoming Federation sponsored regional training as well as lower, members-only registration fees. All Member organizations receive one $15 coupon towards a Federation-sponsored workshop. - Representation in Olympia:
The Federation maintains a presence in Olympia and tracks legislation affecting animals in our state. Members receive periodic updates on animal welfare legislative issues and have a voice in the promotion of animal welfare in Washington State. The Federation networks with local and national agencies to leverage the influence that our vast membership can have on policymakers. - Washington Animal Population Survey:
The Federation annually surveys animal organizations throughout the state, revealing trends in the Washington State shelter system, both by species and by services. Member agencies receive free on-line access to the survey results. - Free Postings on The Federation website and social media.
We assist with advertising your events, job openings, volunteer positions and even adoptable animals.
