Sponsorship Opportunities

At this time, Green Mountain Animal Defenders is looking for sponsors to help offset some of the expenses to promote and host this event in hopes of reaching our fundraising goal of $10,000. The funds raised will help protect companion, wildlife, farmed animals, and animals of all types.

Green Mountain Animal Defenders (www.gmad.info) is Vermont’s oldest and largest volunteer-run animal protection organization, which means we rely on our growing network of volunteers to provide life-saving support for animals in need. By holding this event, we are able to increase our volunteer base and raise the necessary funds to support our ongoing initiatives, such as:

  • Companion Animals:
  • Sharing alerts on lost and found animals
  • Facilitating low-cost spay/neuter programs for cats (domestic and feral), dogs, and bunnies
  • Organizing pet food drives, especially for feral cat colonies, local food shelves, and low-income families
  • Building and donating feral cat shelters and insulated dog houses
  • Promoting humane and proper treatment of companion animals


Wildlife:

  • Providing medical supplies, cages, bedding and food to Vermont’s licensed wildlife rehabilitators
  • Offering humane solutions to wildlife–human conflicts such as animals in gardens or homes or on grounds of municipalities
  • Advocating for replacement of inhumane traps with better alternatives


Farmed Animals:

  • Working with feed and farm stores to rescue and rehabilitate chicks, ducks, goslings, and hatchling turkeys who are sick or injured
  • Informing the public about the negative aspects of factory farming
  • Supporting farm animal sanctuaries
  • Promoting healthy plant-based diets


Advocacy:

  • Advocating for animals that suffer for entertainment purposes in carnivals, circuses, rodeos, and traveling zoos
  • Raising awareness about the negative aspects of laboratory animal experimentation for consumer products
  • Focusing on education and legislation to shift policies and laws in favor of animal protection and wellness

We hope that you’ll decide to sponsor our 9th Annual Walk for All Animals.
