Below are just a handful of examples that can help you work more efficiently while helping as many families as possible. We’d love to hear your favorites!   

Canva – Canva is free for nonprofits! This user-friendly design tool is a favorite among animal welfare organizations, as you can easily create eye-catching graphics, advertisements and more!  

Mailchimp – There’s no denying the power of email marketing to keep in touch with your supporters and share important information. Mailchimp has a free version if you have less than 2,000 contacts. (If you have more than 2,000 contacts, be sure to inquire about non-profit discounts at any service you look into!)
