His legacy. Your squad.
Donate
Big Marv was three and a half pounds and could not stand on his own. He still changed how half a million people think about what a small, broken-looking dog is worth. Your donation is what keeps that work going: the vet bills, the food, the transport out of a shelter that had run out of room.

Join the Teef Squad
Big Marv’s official monthly crew. Pick a tier, choose Monthly on the form above, and we mail you the welcome pack — then every month you fund the food, vet visits, and freedom rides his Legacy runs in his honor. Prefer to give once? Choose One-time instead: every gift is welcome and does the same work.

Donation Questions
How do I cancel or change my monthly amount?
Open the receipt email from any of your donations and click the Manage link inside it, or sign in at givebutter.com/login with the email you donated with — Givebutter sends you a one-time code, so there is no password to remember. From there you can update your card or bank details, download receipts, or cancel any time. To change your monthly amount, cancel your current gift and set up a new one at the new amount — or just email info@bigmarvslegacy.com and we will sort it out for you.
When will I get my welcome gift?
We pack gifts once a week and post them within 10 days of your first payment clearing. It is a one-off thank you for starting a monthly donation, not a monthly delivery. If you move up to a higher tier later, we will send that tier’s gift too. If two weeks pass and nothing has arrived, email us and we will chase it.
Do one-time donors get a gift?
No, the welcome gifts are for monthly donors. That is why the shipping address and size questions at checkout are optional. If you are giving monthly, please fill them in, or we will have nowhere to post your gift. If you are giving once, skip them.
What is the tip on the donation form?
Our donation form is run by Givebutter, who charge us nothing to use it. Instead they ask donors for an optional tip. That tip goes to Givebutter, not to Big Marv’s Legacy. You can change it or set it to zero, and the amount we receive is exactly the same either way. We would rather be straight with you about it than hide it.
Is my donation tax deductible?
Big Marv’s Legacy is a registered 501(c)(3), so donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Where we send a welcome gift, the deductible amount is your donation minus the fair market value of the gift, and that value is stated on your receipt. Any tip you leave for Givebutter is not a donation to us and is not deductible as one.
Is it safe, and can I give another way?
Card details go straight to Givebutter’s payment processor and never touch this website. If you would rather send a check, email info@bigmarvslegacy.com for our mailing address. You can also buy from our shop, send supplies from our wish list, or foster a dog, which saves us more money than most donations do.
Other Ways to Help
Money is not the only thing that keeps a dog alive. A spare room, a car, or an afternoon does the same work.
