Animal Welfare Professionals

Happy Fall! Im Michelle,  the founder and President of Gypsy Heritage Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation and Animal Sanctuary (ein 83-0871111)in Perkins Oklahoma.  Are any other rescues experiencing a decline in donations this year? We have been 95% self funded this year and its really taking a toll. Any thoughts?

Yes, without a doubt! I think the lack of certainty in economic and financial markets is impacting our bottom lines in a lot of ways!  Memorial donations are now a bigger source of revenue than individual donations.  We're trying to find more corporate donors and private grants as well.  Smaller, rural  organizations are having a really hard time right now.  We definitely feel your pain but unfortunately do not have a lot of answers.

Good morning Kingman!! We are doing the same. We have had success with PRODUCT donations, Chewy is awesome. With y'all being a shelter DEFINITELY check out www.cuddly.com AMAZING platform for animals in your care (you can make wish lists and also set a monetary donation need PER ANIMAL), although product wishlists are more often sent.
