Where does YGRR get its funding?
YGRR is a nonprofit charitable 501(c)(3) organization. We rely on membership dues, donations and fund-raising for our income. Donations are always welcome. Our Nana Heidi and Tawney Endowment Fund ensures future services for Goldens, our Look Beyond Time Fund takes care of senior and special needs Goldens, our Operating Fund pays the bills for the day to day operation of rescue, and our Facility Fund assists in taking care of the buildings and grounds at Riverview. One of our most important fund-raising efforts is Golden Goodies, our annual specialty catalog of Golden merchandise. Our catalog is a favorite among dog lovers everywhere. All proceeds to YGRR from Golden Goodies sales directly benefit Rescue Goldens awaiting adoption. The most popular catalog item is our annual calendar which features photos and stories of Goldens we have rescued. YGRR members automatically receive the catalog each year. To view our catalog, visit the YGRR Store section of this website.
