Ask for online donations today. Really.

Today and tomorrow are the best days of the entire year to ask for donations online. So do it!
At Network for Good, we see our giving spike to incredible levels in the last week of every year. That’s because online giving is perfectly suited to philanthropic procrastinators who want to get in their donations by the end of the tax year. Our giving is expected to go from about $70,000 on December 1 to well over $1 million a day for the final days of the year.
Please send out a last-minute email appeal today and ask folks who have not given recently to make a year-end donation to your organization online. If you don’t have a way for them to give online, get a DonateNow button for free in five minutes at Network for Good. Or go to Network for Good, search for your charity, click on “donate” and then share that URL with your mailing list. Don’t delay - there is no better time to ask for support online.

Dear Friends:
We are writing to you on behalf of our up and coming not-for-profit “no-kill” animal rescue. Serving greater Savannah, Chatham, Liberty, Long & Effingham Counties.
Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate cats and dogs that are on the high kill list for euthanasia, treating their illness if any and placing homeless animals into safe and loving homes, and not toward administrative costs.
Our family and dear friends Hess Putnam, Amanda Scearce & Lindsey Mlekush “co-founders” have been donating food, time, medical supplies, underground fencing, blankets , pillows, tarp everything you can imagine a helpless animal needs to numerous rescues throughout Georgia for quite some time now.
We are always looking for the best way we can help these helpless animals.
After much prayer and some excited brainstorming we came up with the idea to open our own “not for profit” no kill rescue.
Hence “Kandi Boo Rescue” came about.
As of right now I am driving a small Caravan which I cannot transport animals in as the traveling pet carriers are too large to fit into a mid size van.
We would like to ask you to get involved and donate a beater truck for transportation to these high kill animal shelters to our local veterinarians that are donating their services to help heal these animals so they can be re-homed to loving families.
There are also times that we have to transport an animal to a foster family in the event the center is full to capacity.
We rely solely on monetary donations hence the need to go directly to the source for the donations that we need.
As this is a “not for profit” rescue center your donation would be 100% tax deductable.
Thank you for your time we hope to hear from you in the near future.
Please contact Barbie Nemeth at 912-224-9543 or reply to this email.
God Bless
Barbie Nemeth, Amanda Scearce & Lindsey Mlekush “co-founders” of Kandi Boo “No Kill” Rescue Center
