GlobalGiving's best matching gift opportunity of the year is here! GlobalGiving will match one-time donations up to $500 at 50%, and new monthly donations at 100% of one installment's amount while funds remain, or until the campaign ends at 8:59 PT on Wednesday, July 18. The event starts Wednesday July 18 at 6 am PT. Matching funds in similar events have run out in 30 minutes or less, so early risers will be rewarded!
Your financial support helps us help many people and birds, each with their own story. We were approached recently by the estate of a person who had 40ish grass parakeets, some of which are pictured here. We need YOUR help to fund their medical care. If you might be interested in fostering or adopting some or all of these spectacularly beautiful birds, we can use your help in that way too! Potential fosters and adopters must be previously approved by Mickaboo, or agree to go through Mickaboo's approval process (which we will expedite as much as possible).
You can help us continue to positively impact the lives of pet parrots needing our help. Donate through GlobalGiving's matching program on Wednesday and the first $500 of your gift could be matched! ALL gifts of ANY size will be appreciated.
