Racine & Me: Ruud Foundation Matches Racine WHS Donations

RACINE, WI (CBS 58) -- The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) is excited to announce that the Ruud Family Foundation is matching donations made to the Racine Campus in 2025 – up to $50,000! First-time donors to the WHS Racine Campus will have their donations doubled, and returning donors will receive a 50% match on their gifts.

We are so very grateful for the generosity of the Ruud Family Foundation, which has championed our work in the Racine community. They are not only directly helping animals and families in need in Racine County but also helping to inspire additional gifts to support this lifesaving work.

Donations to our Racine Campus go toward basic animal needs such as food and sheltering, as well as spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and more advanced needs like behavioral work and medical complications.

WHS serves 40,000+ animals and the people who love them every year and receives no general government funding. We aren’t part of any national umbrella groups like ASPCA or Humane World for Animals. It’s donations from the community that truly make a difference. THANK YOU to the Ruud Family Foundation for being such incredible friends of the Wisconsin Humane Society.
