March Madness Monthly Donor Drive

March is a critical month for infrastructure building in the wildlife rehab world. We are eagerly preparing much like expectant parents do before a new baby arrives, except we aren’t expecting just one baby, we are about to face hundreds if not thousands of wild babies in need of help. Some of them just need our guidance given to the people that find them in their attics, some need help being rescued and brought to us for care. Some that need care are with us for only a short time and then released back into the wild, while others may need to stay a year to be ready for life in the wild.

As a charitable organization that receives no government funding we rely on donors, and especially monthly donors to keep our doors open. All donors are important, but monthly donors give charities something that is almost impossible in the not-for-profit world- stability.

This March we have many reasons for supporters to become monthly donors!

• org the website we use to manage our online fundraising has a March Match promotion, they will be matching new monthly donations of $20 or more by adding on an extra $20, or if existing monthly donors increase their monthly donations by $10 or more, they will add on an extra $10!!
• We also have a generous donor willing to tack on an extra $10 000 if we can reach an additional $10 000 in monthly donors this March!! Even more incentive to start or increase your monthly donation to SPWC today!!

For the same price as a Netflix subscription, you could help us raise an orphan fawn, or a litter of orphaned fox kits. For $50/month you could provide a year’s worth of life saving medication to all the raptors and waterbirds we care for. $35/month can sponsor one virtual school program for up to 30 students on how to keep wildlife safe in their community. $78/month can sponsor one live virtual tour for school groups for up to 90 students to understand human impacts on wildlife and inspire a career in animal welfare. $85/month can sponsor one in-person classroom visit for up to 30 students to develop empathy and compassion for wildlife through outdoor exploration and hands-on activities. $150/month ($5/day) can sponsor one outreach event per month to raise awareness of our rehabilitation work to 100+ community members.

A testimony to the amazing work being done at SPWC is our beloved Red Fox from Bath Rd with the broken jaw. Our passion and dedication helped pull that fox through a horrible scenario and the community support for him was outstanding. His story reached hearts all over Ontario and highlighted how people can and should help our wild neighbours, especially when it is human activity that puts the animal in peril.

We are also offering incentives for new and existing monthly donors, check out our March Madness Monthly Donor Campaign page for more details! https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/sandy-pines-wildlife-centre-incorporated/campaign/march-madness-monthly-donor-campaign
