Background
The Rachael Ray No-Kill Excellence Grants fund projects that help no-kill organizations maintain their lifesaving and/or assist other organizations in their community reach the 90% threshold. If awarded, this $60,000 grant would fund a part time position committed to building and implementing a curriculum for volunteers, fosters, and animal care staff members. An immersive introduction to our organization will help recruit and continuing education will help retain more volunteers and fosters. This building up of a skilled, voluntary workforce will help the shelter staff save the most vulnerable of shelter animals. In addition, these trained volunteers and fosters can give back to the program by teaching others. This will foster a Lifesaving Legacy of Learning for the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter.
