How to Raise Funds for Non-profit

Register Now for the 2022 Saving Pets Challenge! [Video]

Registration is now open for the 2022 Saving Pets Challenge! The Michelson Found Animals Saving Pets Challenge is an annual online fundraising campaign that benefits organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life for companion pets and their humans. Organizations from around the country will raise money and compete for $150,000 in grant prizes to put toward innovative programs that expand lifesaving capacity in their communities. This year, Michelson Found Animals Foundation partnered again with Mighty Cause, for a campaign designed to help you raise money, awareness and donors through a friendly fundraising competition. For more info and to register visit https://www.savingpetschallenge.org. The Challenge begins Wednesday, September 1 through Thursday, September 30. We are Michelson Found Animals, a nonprofit with a focused mission: Saving pets, Enriching lives. We love pets, but they aren’t the best arbiters for their own cause. Don’t worry, they’re not offended by that. They give us endless love, compassion, loyalty, and cuddles. It’s our end of the bargain to give them food, shelter, protection, and endless tummy rubs. That’s why it’s our mission to put pets in homes and keep them there – because all pets are meant to be with good people.
