    We need to share developments with you related to your generous donation on Giving Tuesday.  Earlier this year, we applied for a grant for the purchase of a commercial washing machine.  We were told grant recipients would be notified in November.  We were told only the entities chosen for a grant would be notified.  When we didn't hear anything, we assumed we had not been chosen for the grant and decided to post our Giving Tuesday fundraiser for the much-needed washing machine.  

    We were just notified last night we were chosen for the grant.  We are notifying you to be completely upfront and honest about the situation. The grant will cover the cost of the washing machine. However, the needs at the shelter are continuous and we are also replacing our aging dog kennels.  If you are willing, we would like to use the money you so generously donated for our dog kennels.  I understand this is not what you were told your donation was going toward.  For that, we apologize.  Above all else, we want to be honest with our partners.  If you would like a refund of your donation, please email me at sfasfundraiser@gmail.com and I will process the refund for your donation.  If we do not hear from you by January 1, 2025, we will use your donation to purchase a new kennel. 

    Thank you so much for your support.

    Sincerely,

    Thanks to your generosity, enough funds were raised to purchase a new commercial washing machine.  You have ensured the animals have clean, sanitized bedding for years to come.  This helps reduce stress and prevent illness.  Additionally, our veterinarian will have clean towels to use when performing medical procedures/surgeries.  Also, our staff will have sanitized linens to use when cleaning, helping to minimize the transmission of illnesses.  I can't say thank you enough for your partnership in helping Johnson County's homeless animals.

    I will write again when the new machine is purchased and installed.

    Sincerely,

Campaign Details

Our current commercial washing machine is 10 years old and is starting to break down.  We'd like to replace it before it dies as we do, on average, 6 large loads 7 days a week.  We have raised $6000 toward the purchase of the new machine.  The outstanding balance is $8425.  This includes delivery and set up.
