FUNDRAISING – Although everyone will be helping with this effort, we would like to ask individuals with fundraising experience and/or business and organization contacts in the community to assist. If you are excited about the dog park and know others that would enjoy being part of building something the entire community will benefit from, please help with the fundraising.

GRANTWRITING - If you have experience with writing requests for grants, we would appreciate your help! There are numerous animal related foundations that offer thousands of dollars in grants each year. Receiving grants will expedite the process of raising enough money to build the park.

PUBLIC RELATIONS/PUBLIC SPEAKING – There are many organizations in the Redlands community that would love to hear about this project. If you enjoy P.R. or public speaking, this would be a great opportunity for you!

SPECIAL EVENT PLANNING – In addition to the fundraising brochure, we may hold special events from time to time. Many volunteers will be needed to plan, organize and carry out these exciting events. If you like working with other people and are goal oriented, this may be just the chance for you!
