In order to apply for public or corporate grants, donations, or sponsorships, VEFM has to have official non-profit status as a 501(C)(3) corporation. In this economy there is little chance that we will be able to help the people we want to help without this status. Unfortunately, it costs $300 that we don't have, so it is a bit of a vicious cycle. In order to raise the $300, we have set up a fundraising page on a site called Fundable. All we need is for 30 people to donate $10 and we will have enough. Here is the link to our donation page: http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2009-03-29.4723451771
Please ask all your pet owning friends to pass this on.
OUR MISSION
1- ... that no pet owner be forced to choose inadequate treatment or euthanasia for their animal because of inability to pay for emergency medical care.
2- ... that people who receive financial help for a veterinary emergency be given the opportunity to return their gift by becoming mentors, by volunteering for VEFM, or by supporting the VEFM fund financially.
3- ... that it is the responsibility of both the local pet-owning and veterinary communities to make emergency care available--that this is not a national responsibility but a grass-roots responsibility.
4-... that the vision of VEFM will extend to communities all across the United States, possibly even the world.

Thanks. I went to that web site and there were lots of good ideas. I really appreciate the suggestion.
Thank you for the tips! I am very close to my fundraising goal! Im very excited for this trip. He is a long haired german shepherd he is beautiful I love him.
I left a comment on my blog in response to yours, about the fundraiser I'm doing for Cat Adoption Team. Good luck with getting your non-profit status, and God bless you for the work you are doing!
