How To Apply For Help From The Travelin' Rat
The Travelin' Rat helps rescues in a variety of ways. In order for you to be registered with us, your rescue MUST take in rats. You can take in a myriad of other critters, too, and funds that we help you earn can be used on other species, but you must take in rats to be approved for our help. 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.
The Travelin' Rat does not take in funds directly. Instead, we help registered rescues with fundraising efforts. We also help spread the word about rescue events and fundraisers, when rescues need help with adoptions/fosters/transport, etc.
Multi-Rescue Events:
We host events throughout the year on either our website or social media that registered rescues are welcome to participate in. Some of these events have been auctions, virtual yard sales, and giving trees.
Rescue of the Month Program:
We will be choosing a Rescue of the Month to highlight on our website and social media. We'll help you set up ways for you to earn money that month (for fundraising ideas, please check out our Grants & Fundraisers page) and help promote your rescue and events and fundraisers on our website and social media during that month. The Rescue of the Month will be suspended during months when there is a Multi-Rescue Event.
*The Rescue of the Month program is currently suspended. We will be looking at getting back to that in the near future.
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.
