🌿🐾 The Future of Philanthropy Is in Great Hands! ❤️

Forest Animal Rescue is honored to receive a $500 grant thanks to the thoughtful students in Mrs. Truelieb’s class at North Marion Middle School!

Through the Community Foundation for Ocala/Marion County’s Adam Hanson Youth Philanthropy in Action (YPIA) program, middle school students learn about philanthropy, community involvement, and the power they have to make a difference.

As part of the program, students research nonprofits that reflect their personal interests and develop a “case for support” to convince their classmates to award an imaginary $500 grant to their chosen organization.

But here’s the exciting twist… the $500 is REAL! 🎉

The students vote on the presentations, and the winning organization receives an actual $500 grant!

We are incredibly grateful that Forest Animal Rescue was selected by Mrs. Truelieb’s class!

💚 To these amazing young philanthropists: THANK YOU! Your compassion for wildlife and your willingness to support organizations making a difference are truly inspiring.

A special thank-you to Mrs. Truelieb, the Community Foundation for Ocala/Marion County, and the Adam Hanson Youth Philanthropy in Action program for empowering the next generation of community leaders.

You are never too young to make a difference! 🐻🦉🌳

ONE WEEK TO GO!!

Have you dreamed of making history? Of course, we all have. And now we have a chance to be a part of Ocala/Marion’s day of giving – an opportunity to unite our community around causes in which we truly believe and help nonprofit organizations connect to the larger community.

We need your help! Please join our campaign and help us reach our goal of $9,500 and 50 donors! We need you to tell your friends and family members about the important work we do and ask them to join us in helping to make a difference.

These two days are the one time each year that we actively email our supporters. We provide updates throughout the event with upcoming prize opportunities and let you know how we are doing.

Get ready to give! On September 15-16th, https://www.give4marion.org/organizations/forest-animal-rescue and make a donation to us and/or to any of the great participating nonprofit organizations in Ocala/Marion. All giving will end at 7:00PM on September 16th, so make sure to get your gift in on time!

Our special donor and friend, June Albert, is MATCHING all donations 2:1 during the event up to $10,000, and our favorite contractors, Fabian Construction, are ALSO matching gifts dollar for dollar up to $500. That means that if you act quickly, your gift can make FOUR TIMES the impact!

There will be special hours with other matching funds and you can also help us win prizes – just watch for our emails and check our social media for details.
