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.

[Animal's name] is warming up, and we have a winter goal
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, a neighbor found [Animal's name] at the edge of a road in October, cold and underweight. [Animal's name] has been warming up in a volunteer's spare room ever since.
On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for winter care for 10 injured and orphaned animals in our rehab program. That covers 20 days of food and medicine for all 10.
Gifts from people like you are why we can say yes when the phone rings.
Would you give early, before the day gets busy? Early gifts help us get going. Give here: [Donation link]
