What I would like is for interested parties to commit to a monthly
contribution in lieu of a large one time donation. This will allow me to rely on a budget.
If you can afford $10, $20 or $50 each month for a year, it will all go to only those
expenses for touring and speaking to the leaders of tomorrow in hopes of seeing a
reduction of unwanted pets and animal abuse cases. I am asking for a one year commitment
if possible. If you can’t I understand that times are tough right now. So, please
pass this along to your friends and co-workers who also love animals as they may be in a
better position to assist in the necessary funding of this project. Presently, I have
$18,000 committed. The entire budget is approximately $30,000
Whatever your decision, please take some time to review the new site.
As you will see on my new updated website,
http://www.21stcenturycares.org/ There are studies, research results, heart warming and
heart breaking stories, opinion polls and just a good variety of pages to help stimulate
conversation, basis for essays, community project ideas for those so inclined.
We are also proud to announce the opening of our new 5 acre facility in Northern Arizona
(40 miles south of Las Vegas) and as always, depend on the generosity of others to feed
and care for the dogs and other animals we have. The quickest, easiest way for you and I
is click on the PAYPAL link on the home page of my site.
I hope to hear from you. At the very least keep us in your prayers as the more successful
my dogs and I are to get the message out, the more animals that will be saved.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
 Donating Money
Dear Prospective Donator:
If these programs of planned giving are of interest, or for further information, please
don't hesitate to contact us 21stcares@citlink.net
We will be happy to arrange a proposal, so that we may work together for the betterment of
animal welfare in our world.
21st Century CARES is serving our world's animals by assisting and furthering their
general well-being through education. Its existence and continuing charity has been
made possible by donations, sponsorships, and grants from people, businesses, and
organizations like you!
We take seriously our responsibility to contributors, those counting on our help, and the
awaiting animals, to be wise stewards of funds entrusted to us. 21st Century CARES will
use your dear donations to the area of most need.
We have always adopted a strict "No Discrimination" policy for which funds and
services are distributed and received.
Donating Items
21st Century CARES welcomes donations of money and objects/items. All items received are
used exclusively to help, treat, and assist animals in both the medical and personal
aspects who reside in our educational facility in Northern Arizona.
Items we accept:
Everything ESPECIALLY FENCING, be it computers, dog toys, cleaning supplied, animal food;
you name it, and we will accept and use it for the betterment of animals!
Patner/Volunteer
There's no greater honor that helping those who can't speak for themselves... ANIMALS. We
can always use volunteers to help distribute flyers while they run their normal errands,
to schedule presentations for us at their local schools, or to learn how to become humane
educators through one of our various programs to help others accomplish this.

You may choose to take out a new life insurance policy, naming 1st Century CARES as the
beneficiary and owner of the policy. Premiums you pay on the policy may be deducted as
charitable donations.
In any case, you will need to contact your insurance company and assign beneficiary status
to 21st Century CARES. You may also change your beneficiary designations if the need
arises.
Corporate Giving:
Corporations usually have a charitable organization to whom they often make planned
donations to.

betterment of animal welfare.

BUDGET FOR RESCUE/EDUCATION FACILITY

This facility will have a few personal pets, a limited number of dogs who could be rescued

experience again.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS,
WHEN SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE - NOBODY CAN DO IT BETTER THAN YOU.
DO NOT LET OLD HABITS SURFACE AND LURE YOUR EFFORTS OFF TRACK. IF IT'S
A TOPIC FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, DON'T MAKE EXCUSES ABOUT WHAT IDIOTS THEY ARE, MAKE AN
APPOINTMENT AND ADDRESS THEM ON THE ISSUES. THERE ARE UNCARING, CLOSED MINDED IDIOTS
EVERYWHERE...
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS!!!
WE JUST HAVE TO BE THE BIGGER PERSON
AND MAKE THIS COMMUNICATION ONE OF THE BEST OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF OR THE KIDS WILL SEE THROUGH YOU. WORK AROUND THEM AND WORK WITH
THEM - WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE SOME ANIMALS' LIVES HERE. JUST DO IT!! |
