2011 Application
Please email us at info@paws4cause.org if you would like us to send you out an application.
(Baltimore, MD, March 2011) – Applications are now being accepted for the 6th Annual Paws for a Cause Charity Night & Silent Auction. All applications must be received no later than Friday, April 29, 2011.
As we all know, companion animals are still being turned over to shelters and rescue groups at alarming rates. We also know that rescue organizations rely heavily on the support and monetary donations of the community. In trying economic times, monetary donations are more than likely lower than usual. Here is the good news, we want to help!
A few years ago, I began the non-profit organization - Paws for a Cause, Inc. Each year, we hold a fundraiser to benefit one or two local animal welfare groups. Please note that no animal welfare group is too small to apply! Over the past 5 years, we’ve raised over $30,000!
Our approach at the event is to find projects that local animal organizations need funded. We believe that having a monetary goal tied to a specific project helps loosen the wallets of those in attendance.
Once again, we are reaching out to local animal groups in desperate need of additional funding to help make one specific project come to life. For those interested, please email us at info@paws4cause.org. The Paws for a Cause Board Members will review the requests and select one or two groups to support. (We would love to be able to support every group that applies, but unfortunately, it is just not possible.)
In return, we ask that the group(s) selected help raise awareness of our event within their network of supporters and that they send a representative to the event. We will notify the group(s) if we are in need of a volunteer or two to assist before or during the event.
If you are interested, we will send you an application, which you must fill out detailing the type of project for which you would like to receive funding. We suggest that you find a project estimated to cost no more than $2,000. All submissions need to be received by Friday, April 29, 2011.
