At The Open Sanctuary Project, we not only advocate for compassionate animal care, but also for thoughtful and well-considered governance practices. We believe combining these two elements can help with long-term sanctuary sustainability! In this episode, our Nonprofit Specialist Julia chats with Community Education Specialist Andie, and Research Specialist Amber about some of the many variables when considering starting a nonprofit sanctuary or rescue for animals. We hope this discussion will help movement newcomers and existing organizations closely examine the basics of organizational governance and guide them toward the structures that may be the best fit for their work! --- This Episode's Referenced Open Sanctuary Project Resources: So, You Want To Start A Farmed Animal Sanctuary Weighing The Costs And Benefits Of Nonprofit Status Understanding Mission And Vision Statements For Your Animal Organization Accuracy And Transparency: Two Critical Responsibilities Of Your Farmed Animal Sanctuary Understanding Your Animal Sanctuary's Zoning Rights & Restrictions Nonprofit Board Basics For Animal Sanctuaries --- You can learn more about our organization here!
