How To Apply For The Travelin' Rat's Rescue of the Month
We will be choosing a Rescue of the Month to highlight on our website and social media. In order to be approved for this, your rescue can take in a myriad of critters, but you MUST take in rats. You DO NOT have to be approved for 501(c)(3) status, but you must be "organized and operating" as such as defined by the IRS.
If your registration is approved, you can request to be scheduled for the Rescue of the Month program. We'll help you set up ways for you to earn money that month (for fundraising ideas, please check out our Grants & Fundraisers page). We will then post your information, information about events and fundraisers, any specials you may be running on items you have for sale, etc. on our website. This information will also be passed around on all rat forums that we participate in at the beginning of the month. We will post Facebook status updates at least weekly to remind people that you are our RotM. We may also use Twitter, Pinterest, and other social media to spread the word. Additionally, the first full week of the month is reserved for an adoptable rat or rats from your rescue as our Rat of the Week on our Facebook cover photo.
We ask you to help us help you. It would be helpful if you can get the word out the month before and the month of your chosen time period that you are our RotM. Anything you could do such as emailing your supporters, posting our links on your webpage, Facebook page, Twitter, or other social media, and announcing the information on a newsletter or at your event would help us help you.
Each rescue's Registration Form will need to be updated annually. Forms can be downloaded below.
Please email The Travelin' Rat if you have any questions regarding this program.
