Help for Lost & Found Animals
Welcome to all people who want to Help Lost & Found Animals! We are a volunteer run nonprofit that would like to cordially extend an invitation to this meeting:
***************************************************************************************************************************
“Lost & Found Animals–Get Help & Give Help–Where are the resources? Who is working on this issue? How can we get even more animals safely home?”
***************************************************************************************************************************
Are you a volunteer who has been working to help lost & found animals? Would you like to meet, in person, the others who are also volunteering time to help lost & found animals? Would you like to find out exactly who is doing what to get animals safely home?
Do you volunteer for a nonprofit organization that spends time helping lost & found animals? Would you be able to help more animals if you knew exactly who is doing what and what referrals and recommendations others give to individuals with lost or found animals? Would your nonprofit like to receive help to get the word out about the lost & found services you are providing and the materials, services and cash donations you need in order to successfully help get more animals home?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then you are invited to a Free gathering held at :
Mesa Main Library ??? Future Meeting To be Announced (Past Meeting: Saturday, July 18th) from 10AM to 12:00AM. Optional Networking time is available afterwards along with help posting a Free Directory listing for your organization on CommunityCause.org, if you wish. Come meet like-minded people and get energized with new ideas!
This meeting is open to any volunteer, group or nonprofit organization that is currently working to get lost & found animals home. This meeting is also open to any volunteers who would like to assist nonprofits in posting pictures of lost & found animals and/or help nonprofits secure the services, donations and money they need to successfully fulfill their organization’s mission. You can meet organizations to volunteer for at this meeting!
***************************************************************************************************************************
Think of CommunityCause.org as a megaphone. You can utilize the features on this web platform to reach out to a brand new audience thereby amplifying whatever message you are trying to get out to our community! You can also access our community volunteers who act like your extra staff helping to find you the information & resources you need to fulfill your organization’s mission.
***************************************************************************************************************************
**************Please bring your laptop, if you have one.**************** Also, please bring your ideas, questions or any tips that you have learned for getting animals home. Let’s work together to help more Lost & Found Animals! Our community volunteers who love using Social Media can help get the word out and assist you in getting animals home. Our community volunteers can also assist you in getting the volunteers & donated items you need to successfully help Lost & Found Animals!
If you cannot attend, please send one of your volunteers, colleagues or friends! Send anyone who can tell us what, specifically, you do to help Lost & Found Animals.
Here are the topics we plan to cover:
1. We will have a presentation on what is currently being done to help lost dogs. Is there someone who would like to do a presentation on what is being done to help lost cats?
2. We will have a brainstorming session. We will generate a list of everyone we know that is helping Lost & Found Animals and delineate what they do. Are their gaps in service? Who is doing what? Who wants to specialize in providing specific services? What can CommunityCause.org do to support the effort?
3. We will have a discussion about how the Lost & Found Animal system currently works and how it all fits together. What works? What does not work? How can we cooperate & coordinate efforts in order to benefit even more animals? How can we get the word out about prevention? How can we send a unified message about what to do if a person loses of finds an animal? We will also have an idea exchange. Please bring any tips to share and/or examples of successful Lost & Found Animal cases.
4. We will have a discussion about what nonprofits need in order to successfully complete their mission of getting animals reunited with their families. What specific types of volunteers, donated items, donated services, etc. would help you do more of what you are already doing? What do we need to help more animals? We will also discuss how our community volunteers, who are “Social Media Lovers for a Cause”, can help get the word out about Lost & Found Animals and promote your organization, the services you provide and what you need (volunteers, donated items, etc.).
5. We will introduce nonprofits to the various Free features on our web platform CommunityCause.org that may be able to help organizations and help get the word out about Lost & Found Animal issues. All of your nonprofit projects posted on our site become our mission. Whatever you need to successfully complete your project becomes the “shopping list” for community volunteers to find for you! 🙂 Even better, the Donation Page on your projects and in your Free Directory listing directly clicks over to the donation page on your own website! We do not even take any percentage of the money that you raise. Every cent you raise goes directly to your nonprofit!
We are a 100% volunteer run web platform! All services offered on CommunityCause.org are offered by community volunteers and all services are completely Free to nonprofit organizations. If you wish, you will receive help creating your own project or Free Directory listing on our website so that we can get to work finding you what you need to make your project a success.
6. Finally, we will get a head count of how many people might be interested in attending a nonprofit conference, also Free, to learn new skills to help nonprofits. We also want to find out who might want to work together to help plan such a nonprofit conference. Here are the details:
