Like many other nonprofit organizations, the Fort Defiance Humane Society has faced significant fundraising challenges this year, but the agency is proceeding forward with new strategies. Much of the humane societyâs budget â which may reach $300,000 next year â comes from donations, grants and fundraising. The exception is an annual $25,000 contribution in taxpayer dollars from Defiance County commissioners for the humane society to care for dogs taken in by the county dog warden. But the coronavirusâ impact on the humane societyâs finances has been significant this year because it shut down virtually all in-person fundraisers. Among those was the agencyâs big fundraiser planned in December at the Defiance Eagles.
