December 3rd is Giving Tuesday and Global Giving is giving us a chance to increase our impact by providing up to $500,000.00 in matching dollars to participating organizations based on their fundraising total for the day. How much we earn depends on how much our donors give to help us in our projects.
Just last month we brought together over 200 police, social workers, animal welfare enforcement professionals, researchers, vets and others together to provide training and concrete resources on the link between human and animal abuse. We also engaged with police forces across Canada to provide the street level officer training on recognizing signs of animal abuse and how it relates to violence against vulnerable people.
As one attendee remarked “It's really powerful to hear people say the conference (and related efforts) are why they have become aware of the issues, started a program or initiative, gotten in touch with new contacts, etc. and Humane Canada is the reason that happens, so I hope you know the difference you're making.”
We hope that we can count on your continued support of this project. Please consider making a gift on Giving Tuesday to take advantage of the potential matching dollars that could double your impact and allow us to continue to improve safety in our communities through training about the Violence Link to ensure that women fleeing violence can take their animals with them.
