Animal Welfare Professionals

Happy New Year All! 

I am the Ops Manager with a foster-based nonprofit in CA. I would love to brainstorm, and share any fundraising ideas for the new year ahead with the community. Our organization will be forming a fundraising committee (for the first time) with volunteers, staff, and board members. I am hoping sharing of ideas/insights from various aspects of our local community will incredibly exciting, and beneficial. Do any of you have functioning committees like this in your organization? I am excited to collaborate with you all on fundraising ideas that could be helpful across organizations. 

Our organization is really small so we don't have a committee. It's really just a couple of us running everything for the organization.

These are some of the fundraisers that we have planned for this year:

 a tattoo fundraiser with a local artist that we love. He will have a flash sheet available of animal themed tattoos. We will also raffle off a full session with him and we are planning on having a temporary tattoo station set up for people that want to participate but don't want a permanent tattoo.

In store shop for good events in partnership with Kendra Scott jewelry and Lily Pulitzer

A pet costume contest for Halloween

We also have an ongoing online fundraiser year-round with our Scentsy consultant where anyone can purchase things from Scentsy using our party code and a portion of the sales go back to us as a donation

I'm excited to see what other organizations have planned to get some more ideas!

Jus had another idea from someone on Facebook of doing an e card for Valentine's day! The donors pick which card they would like and send in a donation. We would then send the card to the email of the person they would like to receive the Valentine's Day card.

And you can use Instagram stories AI to edit any photo to make it Valentine's theme! I just did this one

My local shelter is doing an event with Panera in a few weeks where they will donate 25% of their sales during certain hours if customers show our flyer when they order or use a code online for pickup. Panera Fundraising is the link if anyone is interested in looking at the program for their area. Next month we are running a donation drive at a pet/farm store where we plan to put up signs with the products that are most needed for our animals. Customers can purchase the items and leave them in the donation bin at the store or buy gift cards for us. We also plan to setup a table on the weekend with some volunteers and adoptable pets to inform the community about what we do, offer adoption applications and volunteer applications. This is my first year getting involved in the fundraising aspect after doing cat socialization and kitten fostering for the past few years. I'm excited to see how these events turn out.

Danielle, 

We have found that the dine and donate events are hit and miss. We are in Florida and have tried California Pizza Kitchen, Texas Roadhouse, JWeremiah's Italian Ice, Mod pizza and Chipotles. Chipotles didn't bring in enough people to even get a donation from them but Mod Pizza raised us around $300 in one day. We asked our volunteers for restaurant suggestions. I would say reach out to a few local ones and maybe try hosting these events at different restaurants a couple times a year. Check out https://www.groupraise.com/ you can search for restaurants in your area who give back.

Thanks for that website! We will check it out.  Because we are a farm animal rescue we are also a vegan sanctuary so choosing restaurants with a vegan menu presents a second challenge. But, MOD pizza would be a good fit! We can maybe find a location near a college town and try to get some college kid volunteers to promote the Day For us.  College kids love 🍕!
