Hi Connie,
Whether you're a part of the challenge or not, you're welcome to use the resources, which include a lot of information on foster recruitment strategies. I'm also happy to meet with you to discuss foster recruitment 1-on-1. You can email me at duer@maddiesfund.org
Best,
Kelly Duer

I am disappointed. We applied for the Best Friends50 Challenge to help us start a Foster Program, and we did not meet the criteria. Like most rescue organizations, we work hard with boots on the ground, but funding is scarce, and our physical support team is limited. We are open to suggestions on how to grow our Foster team. How to make the organization more attractive for grants.
We are all in this together
