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.

Beans from a grandmother's garden, and a $1,000 goal
Hi [First name],
Last spring, [Name] came to our seed swap with a small jar of beans saved from a grandmother's garden and left with seed to share with the whole street.
Your earlier gifts helped keep seed like that moving from garden to garden.
This Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for 20 seed-saving kits for local families to grow and share. Each kit has heritage seed, labeled storage jars and a planting guide, so more seed keepers can protect our food sovereignty.
