Welcome to HumaneFundraising!

This site contains hundreds of ideas, tips and themes for fundraising, designed specifically for animal groups, from animal rescues to humane societies, wildlife rehabbers to dog parks, and spay/ neuter groups to TNR feral cat colonies. If you have ever thought about hosting a fundraiser to raise money for homeless or injured animals, you've come to the right place!

There are thousands of rescue groups and animal loving groups around the world who give every ounce of their heart to helping animals. But, many of them are so overworked and focused on the day to day operations of their nonprofit charity, they have no time to plan out fundraisers, create direct mailings, or bring in new donors. That's where HumaneFundraising comes in! This site and our Yahoo list are a free resource for all rescues to learn new ideas, create fundraising twists and raise more money for rescued animals.

This site is created and dedicated to all the animal rescues, humane society volunteers, and other animal charity lovers who give their all to help make the world a better place for animals. Whether you rescue dogs and cats, horses or rats, lizards and guinea pigs, or ferrets and potbelly pigs... Come on in and be rejuvenated as we put the FUN back into FUNdraising... all for the sake of rescued animals.

Purrs and woofs,

~Danielle Hamilton
