What is FURPOWER?
FURPOWER is the name of my fundraising program. Each month, we select a different rescue organization to be the beneficiary of our fundraising efforts. In March we helped Animals in Distress in Coopersburg, PA. In April, Kitten Rescue of Los Angeles was our recipient. In May, we raised money for the Beaufort Community Cat Project in Beaufort, NC. In June, Angels for Animals in Canfield, Ohio was our beneficiary and this month we are helping the Spay Neuter Action Project of San Diego raise funds.
These organizations receive generous donations from my sponsors and from individual donors like you! If you want to make a donation you can click on the First Giving icon on the right side bar or go directly here.
We select the monthly organization from recommendations made by our online community so make sure to enter your local rescue or animal welfare to be next month’s entry by emailing us. We’ll be drawing the June winner on May 31 and announcing the lucky recipient on June 1.
The only requirements to be a FURPOWER recipient are that the organization has to:
* Be a U.S. organization
* Be a designated 501(c)(3) non-profit
* Include cats in its efforts (it doesn’t have to be cats only but does need to help cats too)
The FURPOWER $1 Donation Challenge is a program Pugs and I came up with to make it easier for individuals to make donations. We know lots of people (and pets) want to help with our efforts but due to the economy, things are tight.
We want you to know that even $1 makes a difference, so don’t feel bad if that’s all you can or want to give. Imagine what we can do if we each contribute a tiny bit! We can make a big difference without breaking any of our mousy banks!
So again, if you want to make a donation to the organization of the month, please click here .
And thank you for your support both monetary or in spirit!
