Hello! I got the moderator’s permission to post here, so I hope this is of interest to you!
It’s finally done…the site for my new organization, Creative Professionals for Animal Welfare (creativePAW). The organization’s mission is to help animal welfare organizations find creative professionals (such as videographers writers, graphic designers, photographers, editors, illustrators, and web designers) who are willing to do volunteer work to help with the orgs’ marketing, education, fundraising, and PR efforts.
Please check out the site and join the database…it’s free (of course) and simple, and you can choose to take on only the volunteer work you have time for. You don’t have to worry about spam if you join the database, as animal welfare orgs have to join and be approved before they can search the database.
I’m thrilled that I announced the site on Sunday evening and we have more than 80 volunteers already! We’re also already starting to get requests from animal welfare orgs for help…on the main page, I’ve posted about Lauren’s Zoo, which needs photographers, graphic designers, and other volunteer help.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, a homeless companion animal is euthanized every eight seconds in the U.S. creativePAWs mission is to help animal welfare organizations publicize their causes and educate the public about homeless pet issues. So please, sign up and get involved!
(Also, please do pass this message along to other creative types you know!)
