‘Tis The Season For Giving!
The Community Action Alliance qualified for the Global Giving Winter Open Challenge! But now we have to meet the minimum requirements by December 31st in order to become a Permanent Partner, and thereby eligible to create multiple CAA projects on the Global Giving website.
How do we do that? Raise at least $5,000 from 40 unique donors…just this one time! Future projects will not have any minimum requirements.
(Note: Global Giving is a 501(c)(3) organization, and donations made by US citizens are tax deductible.) Would you please support us with a donation?
If you donate, and have a spouse, please split the total and make two smaller donations. Each email address counts as a unique donor.
But each person should only donate once, even if they have multiple email addresses. Global Giving awards a $2,000 bonus to the project with the greatest number of unique donors, and we want to play by the rules and win honestly if we do!
This initial project was created by the Community Action Alliance Animal Welfare Committee and supports Dogland (Helene Wirt), Cuatro Patas de Puro Amor (Karen Arce Rojas), and Oscar’s Oasis (Ana Rodriguez Del Valley) in San Ramon. Please see our flier below for more details, and click on this link to give!
Won’t you please add us to your holiday giving?
- Every dollar helps street dogs.
- Your donation is tax deductible.
- We will qualify as a permanent Global Giving Partner if we meet the minimum requirements, and we’ll be eligible for corporate matching and other fundraising bonuses going forward.
Each email address counts as a unique donor, and we need a minimum of 40 unique donors (and $5,000) to qualify. There is also a $2,000 bonus for the greatest number of individual donors!
Our Global Giving campaign started November 25th, and we’re off to a great start.

Written by Michele Gawenka. Michele explains that: “Jane Goodall has always been my hero, and primates have always been my passion. But Africa wasn’t in the cards when my parents offered to send me to volunteer the summer I turned 16, and there was only one class (in physical anthropology) when I wanted to study primatology in college. The pieces of the puzzle fell into place decades later when my husband and I retired early in Costa Rica, and this is our journey with spider monkeys.”
