Populus Financial Group Partners with the Humane Society to Create a Safe Environment for Animals

DALLAS, Dec. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is a valued Populus Financial Group, Inc. (Populus) charity partner. Last year, the Flare Account® Humane Society of the United States Debit Card¹ and Porte's® #DoorToChange² charitable giving program raised $84,913.

This year, Populus visited the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch, a world-renowned animal sanctuary in Murchison, Texas. Our employees toured 1,400 acres and saw nearly 650 domestic and exotic animals, many of whom have been rescued from near-death situations.

"We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support from the 'Chip in for Charity' Flare Account and Porte 'DoorToChange' programs, which empowers us to advance our mission of advocating for the welfare of all animals," said Steve McVeigh, Vice President of Business Development for the Humane Society of the United States.

Over the past few months, the HSUS Animal Rescue Team has provided lifesaving support to animals after Hurricane Helene and Milton's destruction, working across Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The HSUS delivered truckloads of essential supplies—carriers, crates, cat litter, pet food, veterinary supplies, and more—to the hardest-hit counties in multiple states.

"Supporting the HSUS is deeply meaningful to us at Populus," said Jacqueline O'Reilly, Vice President of Marketing at Populus Financial Group. "Our team's visit to Black Beauty Ranch was an eye-opening experience, underscoring the incredible impact that compassionate care and dedicated advocacy can have on animals in need. This partnership aligns with our commitment to giving back and inspires us to help create a world where every animal is treated with respect and kindness."

Since the beginning of 2020, Populus Financial Group has made significant contributions totaling over $274,000 to the HSUS. Through these donations, we are actively supporting initiatives that provide immediate care, rehabilitation, and shelter for vulnerable animals, helping to create a safer environment for them in the aftermath of challenging situations. Together, we are making a meaningful impact on the lives of countless animals in need.
