Most crowdfunding platforms can help, but they often create two big problems for veterinary hospitals: slow payout and uncertain reimbursement. Many sites take 45–60 days to release funds, and in many cases the pet owner receives the money directly, which means there’s no guarantee those funds will be applied to the hospital bill.
GoFundMyPet is different. Because it’s integrated into the myBalto ecosystem, funds are available immediately in your Angel Fund. And because donations never enter the owner’s hands, your hospital can feel confident you’ll be reimbursed and that donor dollars go exactly where they’re intended: toward care for a pet in need.
It’s also easy to manage: every GoFundMyPet created for your hospital is visible in your myBalto Dashboard, so your team can quickly track active fundraisers, monitor progress, and stay aligned on each client’s fundraising status.
