Animal Welfare Professionals

What are some unique fundraising ideas your organization has tried to engage your community?

At HSUS Animal Care Expo in April, Julie Barger, Director of Development at Lynchburg Humane Society held a session about this specific topic and shared some event ideas like cat yoga and cat bingo!

I so wanted to attend Expo but couldn't make it happen this year. I did request the slides for this presentation and they did not disappoint! Lots of fun, new & interesting ideas! The file is huge (100+ slides) so I received it as a web link and don't want to post without permission. @Kim at Maddie's maybe you could add the web link here for everybody? Thank you!

For those interested in the presentation, here's the link. Thank you to Julie Barger for letting us share it. 

I have recently come across something unique in fundraising... or at least I've never seen it before.

A company called ONEHOPE Wine focuses on charitable giving to various causes including animal welfare. Each bottle has a designated recipient (animals, autism, hunger, environment etc) AND your organization gets a portion of proceeds through either online or in-person fundraisers. Elegant, unique and no gift wrap required! Wide variety of price ranges and seasonal specials. No alcohol gifts available, too, including fancy pet adoption bracelets. If interested, I can give you more details and put you in touch with our representative. She can set up an online fundraiser for you in minutes (and geography doesn't matter for online sales). Something different to try for engaging your donor base and really easy...an online fundraiser only requires you to advertise on your social media outlets. Makes a nice addition to your formal events, too. <3
