Bringing Focus to Animal Welfare

Naperville, IL   |  https://chappyandfriends.org

Mission

Chappy & Friends believes in empowering those helping the voiceless across the animal kingdom. We believe that all animals should have a safe environment in which to fulfill their varied purposes in this world. Too often, animals are treated as soulless creatures with no regard for their ability to feel pain, rejection, and suffering. Too often, they are left open to physical or mental abuse or are unable to receive the care or treatment they so desperately need. Chappy & Friends seeks to free those on the front lines of animal welfare activities from the mundane, everyday administrative and time-consuming tasks of running their own 501(c)(3) (tasks such as paperwork, IRS reporting, and board management). Thus, we allow these projects to focus on their respective lifesaving activities.

Fiscal Sponsor to the Animal Kingdom

Chappy & Friends is a nationwide 501c3 tax-exempt organization benefiting the animal kingdom.

Chappy & Friends has two main functions:

One function is facilitating tax-deductible fundraising for animal hospitals to help fund emergencies for animal parents in a financial bind. We do this by establishing "angel" funds that are held in reserve for the practice until they identify a worthy client at which time we release reimbursement DIRECTLY to the hospital, not to the client. This helps reduce stress for the veterinarians and for the client. This is all accomplished without the practice having to form a 501(c)(3), file 990's, and having to field and manage a board of directors. More time to focus on what you want vets are there to do: help clients and their animals!

Our other function is as an “incubator” for non-exempt animal welfare projects. Chappy & Friends helps organizations on the front lines of animal welfare to come into existence, to grow, and to sustain themselves.
