Stichting Dierenbescherming relies on the support of many different sponsors: aid is given financially, given in kind (e.g., pet food, materials for cleaning etc), or through provision of services such as free sterilizations (local vets), free newspaper and radio coverage and free transportation of materials etc. Below are mentioned just a few of the many ways we receive help from the local and international community.

Kennel Sponsors
At the beginning of each year a Kennel Sponsor Drive is held, with the welcome addition of new local companies to the group of sponsors that provide an essential annual contribution to the Shelter's day to day running costs. As a small gesture of gratitude, plates naming such sponsoring companies are attached to the relevant kennel. As at December 2007, 60 Kennel Sponsors support the Animal Shelter on an annual basis, some of them since 1992!

In the center of the shelter several displays are set up with name plates of the kennel sponsors.


Donations from Service Clubs
Several local Service Clubs raise funds for charities and regularly support the Dierenbescherming by means of donation or partial financing of a particular project. For many consecutive years the American Women’s Club, the Britannic Club,The Inner Wheel (an organization consisting of spouses of the members of the Rotary Club Curaçao) and the Rotary Club Curaçao have supported the projects of the Curaçao Society for the Protection of Animals with donations.
Sincere thanks to Board and members of these clubs for their help! Your support is highly appreciated!

Donations from abroad.
At times the Dierenbescherming is surprised and delighted to receive unexpected donations from overseas. Donations are coming from the Netherlands, England, Belgium, Germany, USA and Canada. Via this message we would like to show our deepest appreciation for this most welcome support.

Annual Support from Foundation for Foreign Animal Shelters Holland (S.B.A.)
The Foundation for Foreign Animal Shelters (S.B.A. = Stichting Buitenlandse Asielen), located in the Netherlands, was founded 19 years ago when Board members visited Spain and were confronted with many stray animals that caused an enormous overpopulation in the shelters. They decided to establish a foundation with the objective to help animal shelters to deal with this problem. In the 19 years of existence the S.B.A. expanded their assistance and today 48 animal shelters in countries all over the world receive their support by means of donations and advice.
For many years, the S.B.A. financially supports the Curaçao Society for the Protection of Animals.

We herewith wish to convey our sincere gratitude to the Board of the S.B.A. and thank them for their continuous support throughout the years!! Interested? Visit the website of the S.B.A.:

Inheritances
It is a comforting thought that even after our deaths we are sometimes able to continuing helping a needy cause close to our hearts. We receive a surprising amount of bequeaths from deceased well-wishers and are also often in receipt of monies donated to us in lieu of flowers at funerals. The Board of the Society would like to express its gratitude to all that have made or are thinking of making, such a useful and beautiful gesture – we are deeply touched.

Donation of Fun Miles
Members of the Fun Miles organization, e.g. stores, restaurants, hotels, and other establishments, give their clients Fun Miles when purchasing a product. Fun Miles can be used to get a discount on e.g. articles, entrance fees and airline tickets but can also be donated to a good cause e.g. the Dierenbescherming. We thank all those animal lovers who support the Dierenbescherming by donating their Fun miles for the benefit of the animals! Interested to participate?

Transport sponsoring
In order to catch stray animals, we need cat and dog traps which we purchase from the USA. Unfortunately, however, transportation costs on such items are far more expensive than the cost price itself. On various occasions we have received very kind help from Caribbean Cargo Services, who have delivered the cages free of charge.

Animal Ambulance sponsoring
The Animal Ambulance donated by Foundation Animal Ambulance Hilversum (the Netherlands) on March 8th 2007, received support from UTS, (United Telecommunication Services) through a campaign called ‘Chippie cares for animals’, launched on October 4th 2007. A donation of Nafl. 6,000 has made it possible to assist wounded or sick animals after office hours and at the weekend. UTS assigned a new shorter number to the ambulance service: 9216.
