Launching Mission Meow

My name is Sally Williams. You may know me as the Founder and Director of The Brodie Fund, a cat behaviorist, a cat sitter or as Mom to Marlin The Buddha Cat (and now The Pawsome Foursome).

 

I’m excited to share with you a new title I’ve added to my resume. The Founder of a new nonprofit - Mission Meow. 

 

This fundraiser is to help pay for start-up costs as they add up fast and we want to get started as soon as possible. Our predicted launch date is October 2022.

Below please find additional details about Mission Meow and how start-up funds will be designated.

 

The Mission Meow Mission Statement: 

Mission Meow works with businesses to increase the level of charitable donations for small feline-centric nonprofits to help create meaningful change for cats in need.

 

What Does This Mean? 

Imagine 25-50 different businesses coming together each month to donate a combined $10-$20k to one small feline-focused non-profit.

Twelve small rescues/non-profits will receive a large injection of funds they would never have otherwise been able to raise independently.

 

There is power in numbers and we are stronger if we work together to help small

nonprofits. 

 

 

Mission Meow ``matches” 25-50 businesses each month with one worthy feline charity. Instead of each of them donating say $500 to one small rescue/charity, working together through Mission Meow, 25-50 businesses can donate $12k+.

 

Imagine the life-changing nature of this sort of donation. 

 

Why Is Mission Meow Uniquely Poised to Make this Happen?

 

With my experience as Founder and Executive Director of The Brodie Fund

(which helped 71 of pets fighting cancer with $200,000 in grants) I have the expertise to make this happen. 

 

Mission Meow also has an incredible Board of Directors. And as we all know, teamwork makes the dream work!
