Dear Canine Concierge Community,
|
As we transition into the vibrant season of fall, we are filled with immense gratitude for your unwavering support and commitment to our mission. September brings new opportunities and a renewed focus on our fundraising efforts, and we couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead.
|
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve achieved remarkable milestones, including the approval of our IRS 501c(3) tax-exempt status. With this confirmation, we've proudly enrolled with the PayPal Giving Fund and have been honored with both the prestigious Google Ad Grants and YouTube Nonprofit Program awards! These achievements mark significant steps forward in our ability to advocate for animal-assisted therapy (AAT) and enhance our services to those in need.
|
Your contributions play a pivotal role in driving our initiatives forward, and we invite you to join us in our upcoming fundraising campaigns. Together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of those we serve.
