This group will discuss fundraising ideas for your Humane Society, Rescue, Animal Shelter or Sanctuary.

We will dedicate our efforts to answer all questions or solicitations for advice from the members. Questions are normally answered within 8 hours.

We come to you with a wealth of fundraising information. Elizabeth Tolson, list owner, has been the Fundraising Chairman for her local Humane Society and now helps groups independently. She has conducted fundraising seminars and has written a Fundraising and Volunteer Book for Humane Societies, Shelters, and Rescues. Danielle Hamilton, list moderator, has spent the last 8 years creating and modifying fundraising ideas to work for animal rescues, researching new ideas, and consulting with rescue groups in person and online to brainstorm the best way to make a fundraiser work for them. Innovative thinking and brainstorming are our specialties!

There are no fundraising ideas that are impossible (in our minds). You can present an idea and we, as a list, will work on it to make it work for your group. Additionally, we will discuss other ways to draw attention to your group - such as Public Service Announcements, Committees, Membership Drives, and how to fundraise on Monthly Humane Related Days.

When a fundraising idea is posted, it will be very detailed. You will receive a list of items needed, instructions, sample fliers, letters to the editors, public service announcements, etc.

Additional information on fundraising can be found at www.humanefundraising.com where ideas mentioned on the list have been turned into articles for easier reading.

We hope you enjoy this list. Please invite your friends and fellow animal lovers to brainstorm with us. We are happy to modify any idea to suit ALL animal rescuers, whether they rescue dogs, cats, horses, pigs, birds or guinea pigs. Happy fundraising!
