So ...You joined our
National Donation Programs!
Now you may be thinking ---
"So, we're part of the Programs - now what?
How do we get Pet Bed & Pet Crate donations?"
As you know, folks want to help you help animals - but they what to know how you're going to spend the money they give you!
So when they ask you - "How can I help" - let them know!
Tell them your rescues are sleeping on concrete floors right now and you're working to get a Pet Bed for each of them before the end of the year .... or tell them you desperately need a couple more Pet Crates so you can take more rescues to adoption days on the weekends - then let them know you are a participant in the ARA National Donation Programs and ask them to make a donation at www.animalrescueaid.org on your behalf.
That way your supporters know exactly where their donation $$ are going and exactly how they're helping. And because Animal Rescue Aid is a registered 501 (c) 3 their donation is fully tax deductible so it's a win-win all around!
It's important to keep your supporters interested and engaged in the amazing work YOU are doing as a shelter/rescue group and, at the same time, showing them why you need the Pet Beds and Pet Crates!
- Share Your News: Send us an email with a photo (as often as you like!) with a few lines describing a recent rescue, a success story or particular challenge you're facing. We'll post it to our Facebook page and share it in our Animal Rescue Aid emails. People are more likely to help when they learn about the wonderful work you do for animals each and every day!
- Get Specific: Let us know exactly how many Pet Beds and/or Pet Crates you need. When we let people know you need 'just 5 more Pet Beds' to reach your goal, that encourages donations.
- Send Photos: Send us photos of the animals in your care laying on concrete floors (or where ever they are without Pet Beds!) so there's no doubt about what's needed. One shelter shared a photo of one of their rescues in a crate that was a little too small for her and very quickly a kind person donated a large ARA crate for the pup! A picture is worth a thousand words as they say - so do USE them!
- Link to our Facebook Page: Link so your supporters will know more about our Donation Programs, see our successes and want that for YOU.
- Link to our Website: Ask your supporters to visit Animal Rescue Aid to donate a Pet Bed or even to "chip in" on a Pet Crate on your behalf. If you don't ask - people won't know what you need. Your supporters want to help you - tell them HOW!
We've found that the groups that actively (and repeatedly!) get the word out via Facebook, email, website links, newsletters, etc - get the most Pet Bed and Pet Crate donations.
SWEET FAITH AT "LOST BUT LOVED RESCUE" (KY)
We're fully committed to YOU and helping you get the Pet Bed and Pet Crate donations you need, so please contact us and let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
