Only an organization like the APA can make such dramatic changes to fund raising. For 19 years we have structured ourselves as a stand alone organization, no government assistance and no corporate sponsors. It is a difficult task, but we can remain unbiased and address issues uninfluenced.
This experience allows us to offer schools not just traditional fundraising, good for groups, clubs and sporting groups, but powerful enough to help rectify budget deficits.
500 students can realistically generate $16,000.00 in 30-60 days!
Special benefits for Schools!
The APA has worked with Humane Agencies since 1991 to promote responsible pet ownership and support the Humane Agency and the adoption process. We are now bringing that experience to our nation's schools.
The goal of the APA School Plan is two fold:
-
To raise significant funds for school needs
-
To promote responsible pet ownership
While we understand that most companies that work with schools can only afford to donate pennies on the dollar, the APA is different. We have grown as an organization structuring ourselves to donate most or all of our net proceeds to the programs for humane agencies. It is an easy transition for us, and a significant step up for scholastic fund raising.
The Plan utilizes the American Pet Association's Guardian Membership as its fundraising tool. This membership has been available exclusively through Humane Agencies, or directly from the APA, for 19 years. The Guardian is the most effective lost and stolen pet recovery program in the nation and also offers great member benefits as well.
Example: 250 students who initiate only 4 enrollments each will generate $8000.00 for their school!
There are never any costs for the school.
The APA works on a trust and respect basis and offers
professional and enjoyable interactions with everyone we work with.
How The Plan Works
There are 2 options for this program, Active and Passive.
|
Active The Active Plan is designed for 30, 60 or 90 day fundraisers. This can be utilized by the entire school or any department or sports team.
|
Funding Cost Options:
We understand every local economy is different so we allow you to choose the cost of the membership to suit your economy. We recommended leaving it at the Standard cost if possible, as it is the normal retail price, however the following is available (on a very limited basis as funding is available since this requires additional funding from the APA).

Recommendations:
Give each child a number of Guardian Memberships (recorded on log sheets) to take home with enrollment cards explaining the program. Memberships may be purchased for the family pet, or as gifts for other pet owners. Persons with no pets, or friends with pets, can purchase a membership and we will donate two to a local humane agency.
Booths can be set up at all school events.
Supervised children can go door to door.
Local businesses can display Enrollment Cards.
Other creative ideas as developed by the APA or the school.
Passive
The program may also be used passively. People may enroll through our web site, specifically designed for your school, 365 days a year. Payments of $8.00 per enrollment will be made to your school monthly.
