We are a volunteer based, registered 501c3 non profit Animal Shelter looking to grow and become fully operational. We have not previously received a grant nor sorporate partnerships. We are a start-up and need all of the help we can get to continue doing great work for the animals.
We know that fundraising is a HUGE importance and lifeline for us to grow as an organization and be more impactful, especially post COVID.

We are in need of volunteers who are passionate and knowledgable about fundraising, donor search, etc...

Needless to say, we are in dire need.
