The term “commercial fundraiser” refers generally to a person or corporation that contracts with a charity, for compensation, to solicit funds. The commercial fundraiser charges either a flat fee or a percentage of the donations collected. By law, commercial fundraisers are required to register with the Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts and file a Notice of Intent before soliciting donations in California. For each solicitation campaign conducted, commercial fundraisers are then required to file annual financial disclosure reports that set forth total revenue and expenses incurred. This Summary Report is prepared from self-reported information contained in the annual financial disclosure reports filed by commercial fundraisers for 2016 and includes statistics for donations of both cash and used personal property (such as clothing and vehicles) for the benefit of charity. Only information from complete financial reports received before October 20, 2017 is included.

As part of the strategic plan the organization has done a thorough internal and external analysis. Internal analysis: compilation of the financial, relations, material goods, management, function, procedures, dynamics of the organization in 8 countries. It has given insight to some of the internal problems that must be addressed as part of the strategy plan. As part of the external analysis we have analysed the education, legislation and companies in the 8 countries we are working in. This adds on to our STEP and SWOT analysis carried out sometime ago,as well as to the meat study being carried out in Germany to give AE an idea of what will be the areas of focus of the organization in the next years taking into account the organization's reality and resources. The organization’s country and international directors then had a 3 day meeting to discuss the organization's reality, identity and focus in the upcoming years.

  • Quarterly Fall 2003 Volume 52 Number 4 About the Cover
    AWI Quarterly Fall 2003 Volume 52 Number 4 ABOUT THE COVER Buck is one of more than 100 dogs seized from the premises of random source animal dealer C.C. Baird. Buck, emaciated and suffering from heartworms and ehrlichia, was taken in by the Doberman Rescue Group of Oklahoma. After receiving much-needed medical attention and time to recuperate, Buck and another hound, Max, will be available for adoption. All of the animals seized, who have no doubt been through a nightmarish situation, will eventually be placed in new, loving homes. The case against Baird is ongoing, and indictments have not been issued yet. We hope that 1) USDA will revoke Baird’s license to do business as a dealer selling animals for experimentation, 2) the U.S. government will WILDLIFE gain custody of the more than 600 dogs that reportedly remain at Baird’s Martin Endangered Species for Sale...2 Creek Kennel in Williford, Arkansas, and 3) the U.S. Department of Justice will When Ethics Fail You, Just Make Threats…4 AWI vigorously pursue a case against Baird, prosecuting him for his crimes against the Quarterly animals to the fullest extent allowed by law (see story pages 10-11).

    DISSERTATION PROFESSIONALIZATION, FACTIONALISM, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT SUCCESS: A CASE STUDY ON NONHUMAN ANIMAL RIGHTS MOBILIZATION Submitted by Corey Lee Wrenn Department of Sociology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Michael Carolan Lynn Hempel Michael Lacy Marcela Velasco Copyright by Corey Lee Wrenn 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT PROFESSIONALIZATION, FACTIONALISM, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT SUCCESS: A CASE STUDY ON NONHUMAN ANIMAL RIGHTS MOBILIZATION This project explores the intra-movement interactions between professionalized and radical factions in the social movement arena using a content analysis of movement literature produced by the Nonhuman Animal rights movement between 1980 and 2013. Professionalized factions with greater symbolic capital are positioned to monopolize claimsmaking, disempower competing factions, and replicate their privilege and legitimacy. Radical factions, argued to be important variables in a movement’s health, are thus marginalized, potentially to the detriment of movement success and the constituency for whom they advocate. Specifically, this study explores the role of professionalization in manipulating the tactics and goals of social movement organizations and how the impacts of professionalization may be aggravating factional boundaries. Boundary maintenance may prevent critical discourse within the movement, and it may also provoke the “mining” of radical claimsmaking for symbols that have begun to resonate within the movement and the public. Analysis demonstrates a number of important consequences to professionalization that appear to influence the direction of factional disputes, and ultimately, the shape of the movement. Results indicate some degree of factional fluidity, but professionalization does appear to be a dominant force on movement trajectories by concentrating power in the social change space.

    Letter from the Chair My Fellow Colleagues: As employees of the United States of America, we have very few opportunities where we can come together and speak with one voice on an issue upon which we can all agree. As we are all public employees, I would like to think we all have freely chosen to serve the public and as such are concerned about the well being of our fellow citizens. That being assumed, I would like you to join me in supporting the Combined Federal Campaign, our vehicle for showing the general public that we are concerned about our fellow human beings. The one chance where we can come together and make a positive statement about whom we are and show that we do care, in a UNITED VOICE. I know that many of us would like to have more discretionary income than we currently have. We all want the best for our families, but I ask each of you to stop for a moment and consider the strife that many of our fellow human beings experience every day, some in this country and many more abroad. There are so many who need help. I ask you to look into your hearts and find a way to support the Combined Federal Campaign. If we could average just $2 a week ($4 a pay period) per employee, we could raise almost $1 1/2 million, well over the $699,000 goal of last year’s campaign. To do it everyone would have to give. It is easy to rationalize not giving.

  • Anti-Hunting Groups, Arguments and Tactics, July 2019
    Anti-Hunting Groups, Arguments and Tactics July 3, 2019 Authors Micah Peel Rob Shaul Anti-Hunting Groups, Arguments and Tactics Background: Hunting is declining as an outdoors activity in the United States, and overall the number of self-reported hunters is small part of the population. Hunter numbers in the United States dropped 15% from 2011 to 2016, according to a 2016 US Fish & Wildlife Service Report. In 2016, the report found 11.5 million hunters in the United States, of which 9.2 million are big game hunters. Big Game hunters are just 2.8% over the overall US Census estimated 2016 population of 323 million. Despite declining hunter numbers, and small percentage of the overall population which hunts, a 2017 Study found that strong majority of US Residents, 87%, agreed that it was acceptable to hunt for food. However, only 37% agreed that it was acceptable to hunt for a trophy. Recent successful predator anti-hunting campaigns, and widespread national condemnation of hunters who have killed trophy or exotic animals demonstrate that anti-hunting sentiment in the United States is increasing. As well, there was a 600% increase in people identifying as vegans in the U.S between 2014 and 2017. According to a report by research firm GlobalData, only 1% of U.S.consumers claimed to be vegan in 2014. And in 2017, that number rose to 6% - twice the number of big game hunters in the country. Vegans believe it’s unethical to eat animals, and opposed hunting for food. This study attempts to identify the most prominent and successful anti-hunting arguments, tactics and groups.

  • LCA to Hold 33Rd Annual Fur-Free Friday
    Source: Last Chance for Animals November 15, 2019 16:31 ET Last Chance for Animals To Hold 33rd Annual Fur-Free Friday Protest In Beverly Hills LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Last Chance for Animals (LCA) and a coalition of animal rights organizations—including Animal Defenders International, Chino Cow Save, CompassionWorks International, Direct Action Everywhere, In Defense of Animals, Los Angeles Animal Save, Orange County Animal Liberation, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)—will be joined by actress Donna D’Errico and countless supporters to protest the sale of fur products along Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills as part of the annual Fur-Free Friday observance on November 29, 2019. Each year, millions of fur-bearing animals are raised in horrific conditions on farms only to be brutally killed for the sake of fashion. In October 2019, Governor Newsom signed AB 44 into law to outlaw the sale and manufacture of new fur products statewide, making California the first state in the nation to enact such a ban. The new law, which is a monumental victory for fur-bearing animals, goes into effect in January 2023. This year, the Fur-Free Friday demonstration—held on one of the busiest shopping days of the year— aims to urge retailers still selling fur to commit to going fur-free immediately, and not just in California but worldwide. Protesters will also educate consumers about the inherent cruelty of the fur industry and the impact they can create by supporting cruelty-free brands. WHEN: Friday, November 29, 2019 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm PST WHERE: Demonstrators will gather at Beverly Gardens Park at the northwest corner of N.
