<BODY bgcolor="#B7C4EB"> Fundraising for Humane Societies, Animal Shelters, and Animal Rescue Organizations

For over 4 years, I have been actively fundraising for our Local Humane Society as well as Golden Retriever Rescue. I spent over a year researching fundraising ideas as well as ways to implement them in the best way possible to benefit the various Humane Organizations. These fundraisers have proven successful --- from the smallest of groups to the largest. Belonging to a Humane Society and a Purebreed Rescue, I have observed that there is a lot more behind the scenes than people know. And, the more information a Humane Organization can receive, the better off they are. For that reason, not only does this CD include Fundraising Ideas, but it also includes Volunteer Manuals, Adoption Manuals, and Foster Care Manuals. These manuals are for both Canines and Felines. There is a section on Grants --- where you can see the names and address of grant providers as well as where to send for an application and their deadlines. If you are a group starting off, I have sample By-Laws, Membership Forms, and tips on how to become a 501(c)3. I have included Sample Press Release for the Humane Related Months. And, with the Humane related months, I have taken each of those and suggested a fundraiser or Public Service Announcement for each. Each Fundraiser, Manual, or Form comes to you with fields that are NOT protected. By doing so, you can simply download the document and change the appropriate wording (i.e. add your group's name, change the date, etc.). Each Fundraiser, Manual, PSA, etc. is in a separate document for easy downloading and printing.

See comments from happy customers (used with Permission): This CD is jam packed with information that will help ANY rescue organization or Shelter. It is divided into easy to understand topic sections and each

file opens fast and easy in MS Word. Then when you read the information it has you know exactly how to run the fundraiser in question, or use the information Elizabeth gives you. .....American Canine Compassion Tutelage Society (ACCTS) Great CD packed full of stuff....APS of Person County I received the CD.

a. The ideas are described in depth on how to conduct them.

b. The ideas have a check list of items needed to conduct them.

c. If applicable, I have added sample forms, letters to the editors, posters, etc. so you have a guide.

d. Tips on conducting this particular fundraiser.

4. Sample Volunteer Forms-- Also included with the sample Volunteer Forms are sample committees and their description for which people can volunteer. This takes the burden off of people having to do everything.

5. Sample Volunteer Manuals -- The Volunteer Manual will have release forms, rules, and regulations to protect the volunteer and the animals.

6. Sample Foster Care Manuals -- There are several Foster Care Manuals from which you can choose. I have several Feline Foster Care Manuals and Canine Foster Care Manuals. These manuals go into depth topics such as bringing home the new pet, introducing the pet to other members of the families, training, interviewing potential adopters, vaccinations, and more.

7. Sample Foster Care Applications -- These applications are filled out by potential foster home families

8. Sample Adoption Applications -- When someone wanys to adopt a dog or cat, many times an application and home visit is required. There are several different types of applications from which to choose -- from the basic to the very extensive.

9. Sample Home Visit Applications -- When a Volunteer conducts a Home Visit, this form is filled out and is a basic guide in determining if the potential adopter would make a good owner.

11. Links to Sites with Grant Information

12. Sample Membership Forms

13. Sample By-Laws, Mission Statements and other items to help groups get started.

14. Ideas on how to get noticed by the public

15. Preparations for Emergencies or Disasters

16. Boosting morale within your group --- making sure that when you get members, you keep them.

17. I took the Months designated by the Humane Society of US and gave suggested fundraisers or ideas (i.e. February is National Prevent a Litter Month, but did you know that the second week of February was National Have a Heart for Chained Dogs Month??) 18. Sample Press Releases and Public Service Announcements I will also include my e-mail address so that you can contact me with any questions or help with these fundraisers. <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
