Start the Year Strong with Animal Welfare Public Relations

by | Dec 2, 2023 | Animal Welfare

Animal welfare public relations can help you drive donations and add new supporters.

From 2020 through 2022, donations to animal welfare foundations were trending positively and increasing each year in the wake of the pandemic. However, this year saw a drop in donor retention according to a report from RKD. From economic concerns to simple busy-ness, there are many reasons supporters may get pulled away. That said, when donations begin to slow down, it might be time to consider adding an animal welfare public relations strategy to your marketing plan.

We know how challenging it can be to, on top of your amazing work for our furry friends, put in the time necessary to consistently market your organization and remain top of mind for key supporters. Having a close partner like Orange Orchard that shares your values and has expertise in the space can help take some of it off your plate though, strategizing and executing proven tactics that help maintain and grow your support.
