We're Giving Away $3k Each Month On Maddie's Pet Forum!

  • 1.  We're Giving Away $3k Each Month On Maddie's Pet Forum!

    Yes, you read that right! In addition to the $5,000 in grants Maddie's Fund has been giving away on the weekly Community Conversations calls, starting in November 2023, Maddie's Fund will be giving away a monthly $3,000 grant to one lucky winner who contributed content in the Animal Welfare Professionals community on Maddie's Pet Forum. 

    How can you win?
    • You will automatically be entered to win each month when you start a new discussion, reply to a post, or upload a new library resource in the Animal Welfare Professionals community in the forum.

    • You only have to contribute content once in a month to be entered to win a grant (but we encourage you to contribute more)!
      • Only posts, replies and resources that are posted in the Animal Welfare Professionals community that add value will be considered. For example, although we love seeing a "Thank you!" reply on a post, that won't get you an entry in the grant giveaway. 

    • If you are the grant winner, the $3,000 award will go to your choice of a 501(c)3 public charity or government animal welfare organization focused on dogs and/or cats.
      • The grant can be awarded to eligible 501(c)3 public charities or government animal welfare organizations in the United States and we'll work with any winners from U.S. Territories or International organizations. 

    The first giveaway will be in December 2022 for content contributed in November 2022!
    Need some ideas of what to contribute? Browse the current discussions, start a discussion of your own or upload a resource to the Animal Welfare Professionals library!

    Have questions? Leave them below! This is a new promotion we will be running for several months so we'd love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions you may have.

    Hi, I was wondering if I posted or started a discussion anonymously am I still eligible for a chance at the grant?  I realize my name would not be visible to all, but assume it is on the back end of the system.  Thanks.

    We are incredibly grateful for your generous donation of $3,000. Your support means the world to us, but more than that, we appreciate the wealth of information that Maddie's Pet Forum has shared with us. The educational programs and the community cat initiatives are truly exceptional. Thanks to you, we are better equipped to make a positive impact on the lives of animals. Your kindness and commitment to our cause inspire us every day.

    Congratulations, Lauri Ann! Thanks for being a forum member and participating in discussions in February. Be on the lookout for an email from me with all the details about your grant. 

    And my apologies, it doesn't look like we shared our January 2024 winner on this post in February.  The $3K Monthly Grant Giveaway for January 2024 was @April King from Kotor Kitties in Seattle, WA! 🎉🎉

    Our next drawing will be held in April 2024 for discussion posts and replies made in March 2024. If you create a post, reply to a post and/or add a resource to the library that adds value to the forum in March, you'll be entered to win! So go ahead and ask that work question that keeps you up at night, share a resource you think might help someone who does what you do, or help another forum member by replying on their discussion thread. It could win you a $3,000 grant in April!

    Yearly, we hold a Barks & Blues Music Festival that allows people to come together in our city's main park and enjoy free music from local talent.  While this is a lot of work, the payoff is community awareness, and depending on the number and amount of sponsors for the event we're able to get, that's the amount that we raise for our shelter minus some of the costs.  People in our community really look forward to this event.
