Creative Animal Relief, fondly referred to as CAR, is dedicated to creating
a fellowship of Artisans who utilize their talents to help raise the quality
of life for animals. We are intent upon becoming a "driving force"
for animal charities all over the globe. What we do:
CAR members donate their creations, their products, to CAR. The donated merchandise
is then sold by CAR on-line, in the CAR store-front, and at various arts and
craft festivals. The funds raised are donated to qualified animal charities.
Each quarter, qualified members nominate their "favorite" animal
charity. The names are then put into a randomizer, and three are chosen to
be our "quarterly charities". Each charity is subjected to an intense
background check prior to being approved to receive funds from CAR. Funds
are disbursed quarterly and divided among the charities equally.
Additionally, we also manage a "Relief" fund. A portion of all
monies received at CAR is set aside and earmarked for animals involved in
natural disasters. If no such environmental emergency occurs in the quarter,
the money in this fund rolls over and continues to grow until it is needed.
As
of July 1, 2009, we began our second quarter, three charities were randomly
chosen to receive the funds that we raise in our store and/or through
member donations.
