Organization description:
Chappy & Friends ignites grassroots animal welfare projects by lending them our tax-exempt status for their individual fundraising purposes. We operate nationwide. Think of us as an “incubator” for those seeking to affect the animal kingdom in positive ways. We help those on the front lines of animal welfare to come into existence as Chappy & Friends’ projects, to grow, and to sustain themselves. We have a vision of thousands of grassroots groups rising up to respond to the abuse and suffering of animals across the United States. Current and recent projects: Show horse rehabilitation; budding shelter intervention; puppy mill advocacy; forensic veterinary investigator; potbelly pigs’ advocacy; rescue and adoption; pet foster program for dying humans. Potential projects: Documentary film; “Friends of Shelter” programs; feral cats spay/neuter.
