Company-Sponsored Volunteering
Paid Volunteer Time Off (PVTO) and Volunteer Grants
What PVTO & Volunteer Grants Mean for You
PVTO lets you take paid time from work to volunteer with an approved nonprofit like FoDACC — no need to squeeze volunteering into nights or weekends.
Volunteer Grants are a bonus: once you volunteer a set number of hours, your employer donates a monetary grant to FoDACC (often $250–$1,000 per employee).
For employees, VTO and grants add meaning, build team spirit, and strengthen your company’s social impact — while you get to make a real difference for Detroit pets in need.
Why This Matters for FoDACC
Every hour of your volunteer time helps us care for more dogs — from exercise and enrichment to socialization, resources for community pets, and outreach. Every grant donation supports lifesaving work like veterinary care, adoption services, foster and outreach programs, and urgently needed supplies. With PVTO and volunteer grants, a single act of kindness can scale into long-term impact for countless pets and people.
