How to Donate to or Volunteer with BAPS (bapsociety.com)

Updated

BAPS (the Brooks Animal Protection Society) accepts support in two main ways: online donations through a checkout link on its site, and volunteering or participating through its "Get Involved" section. If you can't adopt, the site's "Can't Adopt? Donate!" prompt points you straight to giving. Both options are open to anyone who wants to help the organization, which has served Brooks, the County of Newell, and surrounding communities since 1995.

Donating to BAPS

The site keeps donating simple — there's no application or approval step described.

  • Online donation: The site links to a Square checkout page (hosted at checkout.square.site) under a "Donate" link. Selecting it takes you to the payment page to complete your gift.
  • When to donate: The "Can't Adopt? Donate!" section is aimed at people who want to support the animals without taking one home.
  • What you're supporting: BAPS is a not-for-profit, charitable organization, so donations go toward its animal protection work in the Brooks area.

The site does not publish specific donation amounts, tax-receipt details, or monthly-giving options, so check the checkout page itself for what's available at the time you give.

Volunteering and Getting Involved

The "Get Involved" section lists three ways to participate: volunteer, participate, or donate. That's the entry point for anyone who wants to contribute time rather than money.

Because the site doesn't spell out a volunteer sign-up form or schedule in the material available, the practical next step is to use the "Get Involved" section as your starting point and follow whatever contact or sign-up route it provides.

Other Ways to Support

Beyond donating and volunteering, the site surfaces two related paths:

Path What it involves
Adopt Browse featured animals and view animals available for adoption
Pet licensing Brooks, AB online pet licensing — license your pet through the site
Events The site has an "Upcoming Events" section, though it currently shows no events

Quick Answer

  • To donate: Use the "Donate" link, which leads to the Square checkout page.
  • To volunteer: Go to the "Get Involved" section and choose the volunteer or participate option.
  • If you're not ready to adopt: The "Can't Adopt? Donate!" prompt is the intended route.

For current specifics — like active events or updated volunteer needs — check the site directly, since the events section showed nothing at the time this information was gathered.
