Matching Donations

As you may recall, this summer we were offered a matching donation of $10,000, meaning that the anonymous donor would give us $10,000 dollars if we could also raise that ammount. This donor has decided to extend this match for another $10,000!

Please consider making a donation to help us meet this match! Every donation you make will be matched one to one. Because fundraising has been going so well, we've been thinking about some new and exciting ways we can expand the scope of our outreach. Food giveaways are a great way to reach out to a new audience. Everyone loves free food. When someone tries the tasty vegan treats we offer, it becomes much easier to talk to them about how they can change their diet to help animals.

Historically, we've only been able to do a few food giveaways each year because of the amount of money involved. With your generous donation, however, we hope to have many more food giveaways each year, introducing more people than ever to veg food. There's never been a better time to donate to CAA, so please do so today.
