New platform enables WildEarth Guardians to raise funds for projects utilizing Crowdfunding Santa Fe – For most animal related non-profits, raising money to fund desperately needed projects requires a herculean effort. Fortunately for WildEarth Guardians this may no longer be the case. Today, WildEarth Guardians is proud to announce their first project listed with LoveAnimals.org, a pioneering new crowdfunding website that helps animal welfare and wildlife conservation non-profits connect with donors to raise money for critically needed projects. Launched on May 1st of this year, LoveAnimals.org aims to enable organizations like WildEarth Guardians to convert their current followers into donors and introduce new donors to worthy causes that require funding. “Animal welfare and wildlife conservation non-profits currently receive only 2% of all giving in America,” said LoveAnimals.org Founder, Sarah Timms. “As a result, most animal non-profits struggle to raise enough money to cover their operating budgets, let alone fund projects that are critically needed. We created LoveAnimals.org so organizations like WildEarth Guardians can access crowdfunding resources and reach a larger pool of donors.” WildEarth Guardians’s first project will focus on ending funding for the USDA’s wildlife damage control agency, Wildlife Services. They will be asking donors to raise $5,000 to fund a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit to shine a light on the ethically and legally questionable practices of this agency. The goal being to end the unnecessary and inhumane threats against mountain lions, bears, foxes, coyotes, birds and endangered wolves brought by this government agency. “We are very excited to be involved with LoveAnimals.org,” said Kevin Gaither-Banchoff. “There are so many projects that we need funding for and its great to have another vehicle to reach a wider audience and help realize those needs. LoveAnimals.org changes this entirely and we are excited to see what we can achieve with their help.” WildEarth Guardians’ funding
campaign will run from May 1, 2013 until July 15, 2013. To learn more, please
