You may have probably noticed on our videos a link to a Paypal Chipin, the Simba Fund. That link is in most of our Success Stories. It is also in our most urgent and dramatic appeals.
It strikes to me today that you may not know why is that link there or what is the Simba Fund? After all with the current level of readership, if Let’s Adopt! ran Google ads in the sidebar of its blogs we would probably pay for all of our operating expenses. Another way of doing it would be to establish commercial sponsorship deals with pet food manufacturers, or other pet-related businesses.
The reason why Let’s Adopt! will never follow that route is very simple. If’ the members support the group’s rescues, it’s the members that MAKE IT HAPPEN.
If support comes from a grant, or from corporate sponsorship, then the relationship with our members wouldn’t matter so much, and we would soon be just another rescue group, more interested in seeking for government funding and cosing up to big money’s pockets than in actually building a community or doing any rescue at all.
I believe any charity or cause that gets involvement from it’s supporters (in whichever way this support may be), outperforms equally or even better funded organizations that don’t have such a strong connection with its members.
In other words… YOU make it happen.
Please help support rescues like Monica by contributing to the Simba Fund today…
