What is an Animal Non Profit Donor Appeal Video? Take a look at this year end video from the National Aquarium as an example. Another example is The Inky Blue Sea Animal Rescue and this Volunteer appreciation video from Fur Baby. None of these videos are able to win the $10,000 grant because they are not tagged with: "You Are Watching The World Animal Awareness Society" See tags below and this WA2S featured video from C.H.A.I.N.E.D. Inc.
The World Animal Awareness Society - WA2S.org has grown dramatically in 3 short years through the participation of volunteers and donors of video to compliment our internal visual data collection. The continued growth of the Society depends in part on people who volunteer their skills and donate video footage royalty free to the Society.

Glaser Progress Foundation

Though frequently asked, the Foundation does not fund companion animal shelters or animal sanctuaries.
