GENERAL PURPOSE

Organizations should position themselves as mission-aligned wildlife rehabilitation charities and build visibility within wildlife rescue networks rather than relying on a public grant application. Practical steps include documenting rehabilitation outcomes, maintaining clear charity status information, using the foundation's website contact/membership route or mailing address to introduce the organization, and cultivating relationships with local or national wildlife networks that might surface the organization during the funder's preselection.
