Animal Welfare Professionals

Hello!

I'm a volunteer with a local dog rescue and im trying to think of some creative fundraising ideas. I've recently partnered with a local creative space to do paint your own pottery and a paint n sip night, but im struggling to think of some innovative ideas. I'd love to hear about some events that others found to be successful? I'd also appreciate any suggestions on marketing and how to get the word out. Thank you!

Hi Melissa! We've just started some fundraisers. In February, we partnered with Chicken N Pickle for an easy fundraiser! Not sure if there is one in MA, but we got a portion from each non-alcoholic beverage purchased over a two week period. We didn't have to do anything but advertise it. We also just finished an online fundraiser with Little Caesars that ran a month long. Very easy and they provide all the tools. It was our first time so didn't do too great but still something is better than nothing. Tomorrow, we start a popcorn online fundraiser as well. We'll see how that one does. Good luck!

HI. Here are some ideas. Some involve more work then others.

• Paw-ty in the Park
  Host a dog-friendly event with games, treats, contests (best costume, best trick), and local vendors.

• Charity Dog Wash
  Offer dog baths for donations. Partner with local groomers for help or supplies.

• Walk-a-thon or Pup Parade
  Encourage supporters to walk with their dogs and raise pledges per mile or lap.

• "Yappy Hour" at a Local Bar or Café
  Partner with a pet-friendly venue to host a happy hour, with part of the sales going to the shelter.
