Case Study: Connecticut Humane Society

The Connecticut Humane Society (CHS), the state’s oldest and most comprehensive animal welfare organization, set out to build a new Pet Resource and Adoption Center that would meet the growing needs of pets and their families. Partnering with Alford Group, CHS strengthened donor relationships, empowered volunteer leaders, and built internal fundraising capacity. The result: more than $15.3 million raised—surpassing their goal—and a state-of-the-art facility now serving communities across Connecticut.
