Programs described in its return (3)
- Donor Support and Restricted Fund Development: Beyond Animal Sheltering established a new mechanism for community members to make tax-deductible contributions specifically designated to support Madison County Animal Services. This system ensures that donor funds are directed toward the care and well-being of shelter pets and related program needs rather than the countys general operating fund. The program increased transparency donor confidence and the shelters capacity to receive and utilize community support effectively. This program did not require any start-up expense as we utilized virtual fundraising platforms such as Donorbox Stripe that assess a fee as donations are made.
- Facility Improvement and Capacity Expansion: During FY24 25 Beyond Animal Sheltering secured a major grant to assist Madison County Animal Services with critical building repairs and the purchase of a movable double-wide structure to expand programming space. While grant funds were awarded previously project implementation and expenditures are occurring in the current fiscal year to enhance shelter infrastructure and animal care capacity.
- Fundraising Support for Shelter Initiatives: Beyond Animal Sheltering BAS identifies and pursues grants major donors and community fundraising opportunities to strengthen resources for Madison County Animal Shelter. These efforts increase financial support for animal care facility improvement and volunteer and foster initiatives that benefit shelter pets and the broader Madison County community. Weve been able to solicit and secure $9,600 from major donors over this fiscal year on behalf of BAS to benefit Madison County Animal Services MCAS this is not something MCAS has had the capacity to do on their own.
