Exploring Non-Profit Partnerships

Over the past few days, at the advice of Christine from Ebullient French Bulldogs in Austin, I have been researching the guidelines of partnering with animal-friendly non-profits. Since there are so many organizations out there, it is imperative fully investigate potential partners before committing to a relationship.

I have identified 5 requirements of a non-profit organization in order to qualify for a partnership with AnimalWork:

1. Vision & Mission: Organizations must be striving to ultimately make this world a safer and friendlier place for animals.
   
2. Policies & Procedures: Must be geared at achieving the organization's goals.
   
3. Approach: Must have a proactive and dynamic approach concerning animal issues and emerging concerns.
   
4. Financial Efficiency: Must utilize resources in a most efficient manner and allocate funds among programs appropriately (Charity Navigator is a great place to research this.)
   
5. Tax Requirements: Must have tax-exempt status under section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.

I will releasing a fully-detailed newsletter for non-profits interesting in partnering with AnimalWork.org shorty.
