Ways to Help

Remember, the first three letters of "fundraising" are F-U-N!

Just shop for ESRA

There's no easier way to donate than just by shopping.

There's no easier way to give a little back than to buy through Amazon Smile. When you shop using smile.amazon.com, Amazon donates 0.5% of your purchase to a charity of your choice - in this case, ESRA! It's all the same items and prices, with the added benefit of helping a Springer in need.

Want to make sure you never forget to use it? There are a few plugins that can help you with that. For Chrome, there's an extension called Smile Always that automatically redirects you to the Smile URL anytime you browse Amazon. Its Firefox counterpart is called Amazon Smile Redirect and also includes a Chrome version. Smilematic is a great too for Safari and Firefox.

Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance benefits rescue organizations with its Charity Rebate Program. Rebates are available on both dog and cat products. Your purchases could mean cash for ESRA! Just save your Natural Balance UPC codes, attach them to the original purchase receipt, then forward them to Vicki Wingo, PO Box 19523, San Diego, CA 92159-9523
Our various foster homes around the country are always in need of kennel supplies. Any such items donated to us are tax deductible, and ESRA will provide a receipt to anyone donating to us.
Many grocery store chains have programs that will rebate a small percentage of your grocery shopping funds to your favorite charity. We are registered with Kroger's and the numerous other stores that are part of that corporation, such as Ralph's.

Hold a fun event

Get things moving and spread the word.

Recycle for Rescue

Keep your eyes open for recycling opportunities, and act on them! Recycling not only is good for the environment, but will also be great for a homeless Springer if you Recycle for Rescue!

Hold a Garage Sale

Hold a garage sale in your community and donate the money to rescue. If you do some advertisement beforehand, people will donate items for the sale. Be sure to ask family members, friends, neighbors, and area merchants for donated items.

Have a Yappy Hour

A "Yappy Hour" is a fundraising event that usually takes place at a restaurant or bar that is dog friendly. You can ask the owners of such establishments in your local area if they will be willing to host one. Here are tips on how to do one.

Holiday Wrapping

Each holiday season, some bookstores allow charities to do their Holiday gift wrapping for them in exchange for donations. Some even allow Springers in the store as "ambassadogs"! Here is info on how to do this in your area.

Hold a Raffle

Hold a raffle to help raise money for rescue. Many merchants will donate items and gift certificates to help, and the money raised can be used to save lives.

Network

Many businesses have programs that give money either as matching donations or outright gifts to charitable organizations that their employees work with. See if your employer participates in such a plan.
