#5. Reflect on your organisation’s operations and achievements

Take advantage of the entry experience to make objective reflections on your organisation’s strategies, planning, operations, and achievements.

#6. Attract more Supporters

Your local community and businesses are more likely to support a rescue group or animal shelter organisation that has a good reputation. You can promote your status as a Rescue Awards winner or finalist to potential sponsors and increase fundraising.

#7. Attract more pet adopters and foster carers

Pet adopters will be more likely to adopt a pet from a rescue group or animal shelter that has an excellent reputation. Winning an award or endorsed as a finalist in the Rescue Awards will enhance your reputation in the community.  You can potentially attract more volunteer foster carers who will feel proud to be part of your team.

#8. Inspire others to volunteer

Shine the light on your hard-working volunteer when you enter the ‘Volunteer of the Year’ category and inspire others to join the team.

#9. Boost morale

As you know, running a rescue group or animal shelter is challenging at the best of times.  Highlight your team effort and boost morale when you are a winner or finalist in the Rescue Awards.

#10. Your community of pet adopters and foster carers can win fantastic prizes

Encourage your community of pet adopters to enter the Ivory Coat People’s Rescue Story to WIN a pawsome pack of prizes for their rescue pet(s).  Foster Carers have a special category just for them, the Ivory Coat Foster Carer Story for Aussie volunteer foster carers to share their story of fostering a pet and WIN a fabulous pack of prizes for their foster pet(s).

And…every entrant to the Ivory Coat People’s Rescue Story or the Ivory Coat Foster Carer Story receives a 3 month FREE pet insurance offer from Pet Insurance Australia and one $20 gift voucher from Vet Products Direct!
