FUNDRAISER: Wildlife Office, Triage and Teaching Facility
The Rainbow Wildlife Rescue (RWR) continues to grow - beyond our own walls in fact. In light of the recent affiliation with the Tarleton State University R.E.A.L. (Real-world Experience Applied to Learning) program we have accomplished one of our main goals to expand our wildlife education program. The opportunity benefits all those involved and we are very excited! Beginning this fall the RWR will offer internships to students participating in the R.E.A.L. program.
 | Wildlife Rehabilitation is a volunteer service offered to the state; there is no official funding available. RWR operates from a private residence that is basically a very old (1945) small, 2 bedroom house. Presently, one room is utilized as a wildlife nursery and another one is used as an office. The electrical system is taxed and circuits blow on regular basis. |
As RWR grows so does the number of public visitors who often arrive unannounced and at all hours of the day and night. In short, RWR is in desperate need of physical expansion to allow for a formal office and proper animal care wards.

RWR explored 3 solutions:
1) move to a bigger place
2) close the rescue
3) get an affordable office separate from the residence and the animal care wards (by law, we must keep the public away from animals being rehabilitated)
Solution #1 is not presently viable, neither is solution #2. That leaves option #3 and the purpose of this letter.
RWR has researched portable buildings and determined that this structure would adequately suffice and be a tremendous benefit to our cause. It is 12x24 feet in size and will cost $5,000.

The interior and electrical tasks could be turned into project opportunities for shop classes. We are exploring community involvement such as this.
This office will provide space for basic office furniture, equipment, and a table with a chairs for interning students. A portion of the building will be separated and used for emergency triage area for new arrivals of distressed animals. One wall will be nursery incubators and cages with critical heating pads.
The goal is to raise $5000 to purchase the building and explore classes or groups that are interested in the interior projects including electrical and hopefully some plumbing.
The Rainbow Wildlife Rescue INC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity organization and all donations are tax deductible.
