Animal rescues · A rescue fundraiser alternative
Ongoing revenue for animal rescues
Your supporters love what you do, and they already buy laundry and dish soap. With Impact Green, they buy Nellie's from your rescue's page, and your rescue earns a 20% commission (before tax) on every order and reorder. A better alternative to one-time fundraisers.
No cost to join. Nothing to sell, store or collect.
Why it works
Why it works for rescues
Steady support between events
Reorders keep coming in between adoption events and galas.
Easy for supporters
They switch a purchase they already make instead of being asked for another donation.
Nothing for volunteers to sell
Supporters order and pay online, and orders arrive ready for pickup.
Grows with your community
Adopters, fosters and volunteers can all order and share your page.
Not another one-time fundraiser
A better alternative to one-time rescue fundraisers
| The usual fundraiser | Impact Green | |
|---|---|---|
| Effort | Another event to plan, staff and clean up after | Share once, then mention it in newsletters and at adoption events |
| Products | Raffle tickets and auction items people buy once | Everyday laundry and dish products supporters already use |
| Volunteer work | Volunteers sell tickets and collect cash | Supporters order online and pick up at the spot your rescue picks |
| Earnings | Income stops when the event ends | Steady reorders between events and appeals |

Timing
When to share your rescue's page
Adoption events
Put a sign with your page link at the welcome table.
Spring and summer
Many rescues get busiest in the warmer months, and steady reorders help between events.
Newsletters and social posts
A short mention now and then keeps supporters reordering.
Every promotion adds up
Take your page to local markets and events
Every time your rescue shares its page, you add to your revenue stream. A small sign at an adoption event, a pet-friendly market or a community fair reaches animal lovers who want to help in more ways than a one-time gift.
Bring a sign or flyer with your page's QR code. There's nothing to sell or collect at the table, because supporters order and pay online. Check each event's rules for community or nonprofit tables.
- Adoption events
- Pet-friendly fairs and markets
- Saturday and farmers markets
- Dockside and harbor markets
- Community festivals and local events

Quick answers
Common questions
Can fosters, adopters and volunteers order?
Yes. Anyone can order from your rescue's page, and every order earns your rescue the commission.
How can our rescue use the commission?
Commission checks are paid to your rescue, and your group decides how to use them, such as food, vet care or supplies.
Does this replace donations?
No. It's a way to add steady income alongside your donation drives. Supporters buy products they already use, and your rescue earns a commission.
Where do supporters pick up?
At the pickup location your rescue chooses, during the pickup window you set. Supporters get an email when their order is ready, and a text too if they sign up for text updates.
Are purchases donations?
No. Supporters are buying products, not making a charitable donation, so purchases are generally not tax-deductible. Impact Green is a business, and your group earns a disclosed commission.
Will this take away from donations to our rescue?
It shouldn't. Supporters are buying laundry and cleaning products they'd buy anyway, so an order replaces a regular purchase rather than competing with donations, adoption fees or event tickets. Your page adds another stream of support alongside them.
