A Giving Tuesday form that worked
The Aark Wildlife Rehabilitation And Education Center Inc's Giving Tuesday form, built free on Zeffy
- One real story: Poppi the red fox kit, revived and released at four months, shows donors what a gift can save.
- A named need: Name a real cost, like over $7,500 a year for milk, so orphaned animals stay fed.
- Gifts tied to impact: Tie a gift to a meal, as this form does: one opossum fed for two weeks.

A $1,000 goal for 20 community cats
Hi [First name],
This fall, [Animal's name] showed up at one of our volunteers' backyard feeding spots, thin and likely pregnant. Since you last gave, our trappers have kept working, and we want to stop the next litter before it starts.
On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for spay and neuter surgeries in our trap-neuter-return (TNR) program. That pays for 20 community cats to be fixed, vaccinated and ear-tipped, at $50 per cat.
Would you start us off with an early gift this week? Early gifts build momentum, and they show others the goal is within reach.

20 community cats, $1,000, today
Hi [First name],
It's Giving Tuesday, and today is the day for the community cats in our trap-neuter-return program.
Last week we shared the story of [Animal's name]. Our goal is $1,000 to fix 20 cats, and we're at [Total raised] so far.
Here's what your gift covers:
- $25: half a surgery, with anesthesia and pain medicine for one cat
- $50: one full spay or neuter, rabies shot and ear-tip
- $100: two cats fixed, vaccinated and ear-tipped, then returned to their colony
100% of your gift goes to these surgeries. We use Zeffy, a platform that's free for nonprofits.

What your gifts did for our community cats
Hi [First name],
Thank you for giving to our community cats on Giving Tuesday. [Number of donors] of you gave, and together we raised [Total raised]. That means [Outcome reached].
Next, our volunteers will get [Animal's name] to the clinic, so she can be spayed, vaccinated and ear-tipped, then go back to her colony. Because of you, there's one fewer litter to worry about this spring.
Our December appeal is coming soon. If you'd like to keep going before then, you can do that here, no pressure: [Year-end appeal link]

Today is Giving Tuesday, and I'm asking for your help with one specific thing.
[Donation link]
Community cats in our area keep having litters outdoors, and trap-neuter-return (TNR) is the most direct way we know to stop that. Our goal is $1,000, which pays for 20 cats to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and ear-tipped at $50 each. Every dollar goes to the program because our platform, Zeffy, is free for nonprofits. If you can give, share this with your network, or want your business to match a few gifts, please reply to me.
