Aloha Rochelle,
As you are learning the hard way, getting animals is easy. Getting money is not! And it is a full time job!
First suggestion is to take the courses on Get Fully Funded (GFF.) https://getfullyfunded.com/ They have an excellent format called Fundraising TV and you can see step by step what you need to do. I was referred to them a couple of years ago and am really glad I use them. I have learned so much.
Secondly, Are you a 501c3 nonprofit organization yet? GFF classes will help you make sure you are legal in your state and the country so all donations you receive are legal. Don't want to get into trouble. You can do the online EZ form to apply for the 501c3.
Next, if you haven't already, learn everything you can about running a rescue. Check out Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. They have an excellent course called "Running a Lifesaving Sanctuary." It is 3 months online at home and then 5 days in person at their incredible sanctuary in Utah. Best investment in my sanctuary ever! Worth every penny and then some. https://bestfriends.org/learn/running-sanctuary
Social media is also a great resource. Create a website, Facebook and Instagram pages for your rescue. Post cute pictures of your animals and videos of them doing amazing things. Create a business account with Meta (Facebook and IG) so you can create online fundraisers.
You might also start at GoFundMe page.
Finally, I suggest you don't take in any more animals until you are comfortable with your funding income. You want to be able to give them the highest quality care possible. So focus as much of your attention now on raising money.
Good luck!
