FAQ

No. ELRECS is a paid professional fundraiser engaged by the charities it supports.

We work with and support nonprofit animal rescues, wildlife rehabilitators, and other welfare organizations, but ELRECS itself is not a 501(c)(3).

ELRECS operates as a membership and service-based organization.

Revenue may come from:

• Membership participation
• Partnership and sponsorship programs
• Strategic and fundraising support services

In most cases, donations intended for specific nonprofit organizations should be made directly to those organizations.

ELRECS may help coordinate campaigns or partnerships, but it is not primarily a donation-holding entity.

ELRECS works with:

• Small animal rescues
• Wildlife rehabilitators
• Community-based welfare organizations
• Eligible nonprofit organizations

Participation may depend on alignment, capacity, and network fit.

Membership provides access to:

• Fundraising strategy and coordinated campaigns
• Sponsor and partnership opportunities
• Veterinary and service-provider relationships
• Resource sharing across the network
• Support for emergency or high-cost cases

Specific offerings may evolve as the network grows.

Sponsors and partners gain:

• Access to a network of vetted animal welfare organizations
• Opportunities to support multiple organizations through structured programs
• Participation in coordinated campaigns and initiatives
• Visibility aligned with community-based animal welfare efforts

ELRECS may help coordinate funding efforts and partnerships, but it does not function as a traditional charitable distributor or foundation.

Each participating organization remains independent.

ELRECS currently supports organizations across multiple states (NC, NY, CT), with plans to expand the network over time.

Donating directly supports a single organization.

ELRECS focuses on building systems, partnerships, and networks that can support multiple organizations over time, improving access to resources and opportunities across the broader rescue community.
