  • 1.  Fundraising programs for shelters and rescue groups

    Posted 12-19-2018 11:07 AM

    I'm gifting my dogs with a Barkbox subscription for Christmas and saw that they have a fundraising program for shelters and rescue groups. I know there are a bunch of easy ways organizations can raise funds just by sharing programs with their supporters. 'Tis the season of giving but these can be used all year long! 

    Here are a few I know about:

    1. Barkbox Rescue & Shelter Program:  Your organization gets a $25 donation for each Barkbox subscription purchased using your URL.
    2. Amazon Smile:  Amazon donates .5% of the price of eligible purchases on Amazon to your org.
    3. Amazon Wish List:  Create a wish list for items your org needs and post the link on your org's website, in your adoption materials, etc. Your supporters can purchase items off the list and have them sent directly to your org. Put everything you need on the list:  baby food (for neonatal kittens), milk replacer, dog and cat food, litter, dog and cat toys, printer paper, harnesses, leashes, etc..!  Such an easy way to get supplies.
    4. Kroger Community Rewards:  If you live in an area with Kroger grocery stores, your org can earn $$ each time someone shops with their Kroger card.

    What programs do you know about that are easy ways to raise funds without your organization having to do anything but sign up?

    iGive.com-- You just sign up, and do online shopping through the site. They have dozens of great stores. When I was in the business world, I bought all of our office supplies at Staples through the site, raising thousands for non-profits over the years.

    adoptashelter.com is another passive site that accrues rewards through shopping. Just signed up so I can't provide complete review but even the small rewards add up.
