Animal Welfare Professionals

Hi all! 

I recently started a fundraising raffle to help an intake expected to have extensive medical bills (likely amputation), but it's just not getting much traction! 

Where have you posted before with good results? 

It's currently on the rescue Facebook page, but I'm struggling to find other places to reach a larger audience. I've been turned down in other local Facebook pages because it's fundraising/animal related. 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions! 

Rather than doing a raffle have you ever tried just doing a Facebook post with a donate button? We do this with medical cases. Our marketing person does a sad write up and we post pics of the animal's poor condition and they typically do pretty well. We just did this for a dog this week and in 2 days have raised over $1200. Here's a link to that post: https://www.facebook.com/100064598927574/posts/pfbid0YKwWcPbsw68kmUn8ZpzFRy7jjfUy6UAPPE39A1hkj4pxgiDoEipRXueav1NB22VPl/

Wow, that's awesome!

Unfortunately, our rescue is still very small and only has ~900 followers on Facebook.  When we've done Facebook fundraisers in the past, we're lucky to get $100.  We've also run across the issue with Facebook relinquishing the money in a timely manner.

It just seems we're missing the network/reach to get significant donations :(

Do you have or have you thought about starting an Instagram page? We reach a lot of people that way.

I agree with Instagram! I can't tell you how much I have donated to rescues all across the world from IG. 

Another thing you can do on IG is an "auction" where people donate items and them ship them directly to the winning bidders. 

I have done a few of these to help particular rescues.

Are shipping cost in addition to the winning bid price? Do you limit your shipping area?
