Project Description

Animals deserve just as many rights as we do, therefor i dont think major names in make-up and other products should use animals as their testers. Animals are defensless against that and it is wrong to use them. There are other solutions to test things on. In our club we will save the animals no matter what it takes.

Project Description

CLAWS is a club i began at my school with my friend. It's ppurpose is to raise money for, and promote a local animal shelter, Pet Rescue. Pet Rescue is a no-kill shelter in need of supplies and help. We have been raising money all year and have collected newspaper and items to donate to the shelter.

Project Description

C.A.F.E. is a community space that is being created in downtown Fresno. It is a space dedicated to youth activism and empowerment, available to any activist in Fresno who needs a space for a project, workshop, movie night or lecture. We are making this a safe space for everyone, with an emphasis on addressing sexism, homophopia, classism, speciesism, racism, and ageism in Fresno.

The projects currently being worked on are Food Not Bombs, Community Free Grocery, Fresno Needle Exchange, a community garden, a Womyn's night, a self-defense class, and a zine library. We have hosted animal rights and earth rights lectures, indigenous rights events, a mental health group, a consent workshop, drug and alcohol free music events, and transgender day of rememberance. Our future projects include a bike clinic, a free school, expanding our zine library, and more movie nights.

This is a completely grassroots project, with almost everyone involved under age 25. Volunteers and donations are always welcome. We are trying to purchase the building and expand our community.

Pets helping People”

I am an undergraduate student attending Alvin Community College Majoring in Pre Veterinary Studies. I have an idea to start a club or a group of Volunteers in my community that can take there small pets up to the Retirement Center certain days of the week to let the elderly enjoy there company. I myself have a few pets of my own and really enjoy there companionship and good nature. Recent studies have shown that pets can actually be uplifting and reduce anxiety and stress. I feel that it would help get young people involved in the community as well as giving something to the elderly.

I would need the grant money to help organize the organization and raise funds to make people aware of the organization.

Project Description

This is a project plan to inform youth about animal welfare.

Project Description

This project is meant to raise money and promote awareness for the Trap-neuter/spay-release programs throughout Illinois and the greater Chicago land area. I have been a long time volunteer at animal shelters and know first hand how much spaying one cat can cost. The more money donated the fewer cats there are running around on the streets. I also hope to educate our children about this cause by speaking publicly for schools, Scout troops, and community organizations.

Project Description

In the project Raining Cats and Dogs, two seemigly "different" causes will be united as one. Autism youth awareness and animal welfare are both essential components of my life. Working with the two, I have noticed that Autistic children respond very well to animals. Being able to hold, pet, and feel a comforting dog or cat appears to bring the child back to "our world" at least for the time being. Being a devout campaigner for animals, I found it sad that cats and dogs in shelters are being euthanized or kept in dismal conditions for the duration of their lives, when they could be helping children who, like these animals, are "lost." In Raining Cats and Dogs, I plan to transport docile and kid-friendly cats and dogs from shelters to Autistic group homes and hospitals, allowing these two seprate worlds to emerge into one.

Project Description

We are organizing a community service project to help raise money for the humane society. We decided to help the humane society because we want to save the animals. This humane society shelter is running low on funds and they are finding it diffcult to finacially support these animal's needs. We are hoping to raise money so that they can buy food, cleaning supplies, shots, and other nesessities that these pets require. Our youth group is having a bake sale along with excepting donations from local business.

Project Description

We will hold several tag days outside of local vendors, asking people to donate pet food, pet toys, or anything else "pet-related," so that we can donate the items to our local Humane Shelter. Our main goal will be pet food. A lot of the dogs and cats have lack of a decent meal, with our donation, we are hoping to have no scarcity in their bowls at supper time. However, toys will also be a focus. The animals love something to play around with or even just have something soft to cuddle up with.

Project Description

My friends and I would like to help all the animal shelters that need help because they do not have enough money for even a washcloth, I or i should say we would like to have a grant because they are so poor the dogs and cats only get feed once a day. also they only get to go two times a day.
my friends and i plan to help these animals! for homeroom our teacher challenged us to do a community project so my friends and i decided this would be a good place to go to get a grant.
