You can help making the K9 Project a reality.

Your donation WILL make a difference…

Carmel Cares is partnering with the Carmel Police Department to assist in raising funds to start a K9 program in Carmel-by-the-Sea. As part of our mission to keep Carmel beautiful, safe, and inviting, we are excited to be part of this project.

We need to raise a total of $25,000. We have already received matching grant donations totaling $12,500 from Carmel residents. We need to find another $12,500 from other supporters to unlock those funds. We know you love this town and thanks to generous people like you, we know that 125 residents and visitors will contribute a minimum of $100 each to help us reach our goal.

The most financially efficient way to make a tax-deductible donation is to mail us a check, but you can also make a donation online using PayPal, a Credit Card, or Venmo (@CarmelCares). Carmel Cares does not sell or distribute any private information provided by donors.

To Mail us a Check or Credit Card Information

To send us a check or pay offline with a credit card simply download, print, and fill out a donation form and send your donation along with the form to the address below. If you can’t print it, just make sure you include the same information with your check so we get your contact information for the tax receipt. Having your email address will lower our communication costs.

  • Planned Giving – The Carmel Cares Stewardship Fund with the Community Foundation of Monterey County (CFOMC) makes it possible for you to make a lasting gift to keep Carmel beautiful, safe, and inviting through your will or estate. By doing so, you will provide critical, long-term support to our efforts for years to come. Ways of giving include contributing a fixed amount of money, stocks, bonds, a designated property, a percentage of an estate, or a residuary bequest.
