Pledge My Support

Hey pack! We have some really exciting news about our WyoGives fundraiser today.

After speaking with an anonymous long-time supporter of Fur Kids Foundation, they have agreed to give us a match of $2,000 during the WyoGives event on July 15! Add that to the $500 match we had secured earlier and that's $2,500. 

This means that your gift will be matched until Fur Kids Foundation raises a total of $2,500. So, if you give $5; it will become $10. Every $50 will become $100. Every $100 becomes $200. (You get the idea.)

Fur Kids Foundation has a goal of raising $5,000 during WyoGives on July 15, and these matching funds will help us get there. 

We also have a goal of getting five more volunteers to join our pack.

Did you know that FKF is completely volunteer ran? That’s right! We do not pay an executive director, or anyone else who helps us, to do any of the work. Sure, volunteers with FKF love animals, but we also want to help people and we care about our community. Many of these volunteers use their professional skills to help the Foundation raise money, reach more people, and help more families afford emergency veterinary care. The amount of time volunteers give is up to them, but is usually between five to 15 hours a month—depending on the event.

What does a volunteer with FKF do? They:

• help take applications to help local families with emergency veterinary care
• help plan and run events
• hang posters about events in businesses throughout town
• create fundraisers to help raise money
• clean up dog poop to help keep our community safe and clean
• organize storage sheds
• write blogs about topics the animal community would appreciate
• write thank you cards to donors or supporters
• share our posts on social media or talking about the Foundation with friends and family
• work on marketing items or other promotional material for events​

Fur Kids Foundation chose to be part of WyoGives so we could raise more awareness for what FKF does, and for nearly 120 other amazing nonprofits across the state of Wyoming who do so much good for their community. In Campbell County, we have eight other nonprofits that we have partnered with to help raise awareness for this event, and one another. These nonprofits include:

• Campbell County Healthcare Foundation
• ​Climb Wyoming
• Council of Community Services
• Edible Prairie Project
• Energy Capital Habitat for Humanity
• Gillette College Foundation
• Gillette Main Street
• Gillette Reproductive Health 
  
• Women's Resource Center of Northeast Wyoming 
• YES House Foundation

In Wyoming, we work together, and right now that’s what we need in our communities: we need people to come together and support one another. That’s what makes Wyoming, and WyoGives so great: We come together to support those who need it, when they need it.

Stay tuned as we will provide more updates about WyoGives. If you want to learn more before our next update, please contact us at 307.363.1131 or email furkidsfoundation@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you.
