Mutts with a Mission Engages Its Community to Grow Awareness & Fundraising

Founded in 2008 after founder Brooke Corson returned from active duty and saw an opportunity to expand the use of service dogs in the treatment of service members with PTSD, Mutts with a Mission trains service dogs for veterans, first responders, and law enforcement. Located in Virginia Beach, VA, Mutts with a Mission relies on a broad base of volunteers to raise puppies from birth – training them to provide emotional support, assist in basic tasks, and generally assist in improving the quality of like of their handlers. 

Growing relationships with donors through monthly newsletters and personalized communications 

“Network for Good has definitely made our relationships with donors and volunteers better. Prior to Network for Good, we were having a hard time getting a newsletter out that people would read.”  

Now, their newsletter is reaching a little over 4,000 people.  

Designed with the goal of making donor communication effortless, Network for Good has everything you need to help you reach donors where they’re at. “[this platform] is giving donors the opportunity to really see what we are doing.” 

Creating a high-performing and professional giving experience 

“Prior to Network for Good, we didn’t experience donations where we should have. There were too many steps.” From peer-to-peer pages to capital campaigns, our customizable giving pages are quick and easy to set up and provide a seamless experience for donors. 

Integrated events and auctions built specifically for small nonprofits 

“Being able to set up a specific event and being able to account for people worked out really well for us these past few years,” added Brooke. Network for Good’s events and auctions products within Network for Good’s fundraising software allowed Mutts with a Mission to track RSVPs to their annual graduation ceremony and then follow up after, as well as organize sponsorships and run their auction. “It helps us bring everything into one place,” added grant writer Karen Goodwin-Barbour.
