How can Rescue Rebuild help?

Greater Good Charities' Rescue Rebuild program is a shelter renovation program that recruits volunteers nationwide to help various shelters and other organizations in need. We help organizations such as animal shelters, human shelters, and wildlife facilities. This specific application is for WILDLIFE FACILITY. Rescue Rebuild's "Build with You" can help selected shelters in a variety of ways which include but are not limited to the following:

Creating a plan to better use your existing spaces, as well as integrating new renovations into your operations effectively
Guiding your facility through construction-related options, processes, and designs
Creating plans and renderings for communicating with contractors and fundraising
Reviewing bids and helping your facility with choosing contractors
Providing budgets and other tips to help applicants attain other grants
Providing monetary grants for specific projects to be completed by outside contractors
Providing a Rescue Rebuild renovation grant where our team would spend one to two weeks completing renovations on-site.• Building & Repairing
- Wildlife Habitats/Enclosures
- Enrichment Items
- Concrete Projects
- Shed Installation
- Small Pole Barn Installation (for storage or enclosures)

By filling out this application, you are submitting your sanctuary to be considered for help in the above areas. Not all fields on this application are required, however if you would like to be considered for a monetary or renovation grant this form must be filled out to its entirety. Completing this application does not guarantee the applicant will receive any of the services listed above. Once the application has been completed, our team will begin the review process and reach out to you if your facility has been chosen. We do our best to connect with as many wildlife facilities as possible!

Limitations: Rescue Rebuild can provide grants for private and municipal-run shelters. However, at this time, an organization must have a physical location owned by the organization. We cannot offer renovation grants (where our team does the construction) for locations that function as someone's residence or leased property unless there is an official Memorandum of Understanding stating that the organization may use said property for at least the next 10 years. Our Rescue Rebuild team will review your application and reach out if we can help! Please keep in mind that we are a small team that helps as many organizations as possible but cannot help every applicant. We typically have a minimum lead time of 1-2 months for designs, plan reviews, and operations reviews and a 6-12 month wait for renovation projects that our team completes. We hold these applications for 3 years and select shelters primarily based on our bandwidth, budgetary restraints, geographic location requirements, and need.

Please fill out the following application, upload your pictures, and with a little luck, our Rescue Rebuild team may reach out to help with your project! DO NOT FILL OUT THIS APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SHELTER/ORGANIZATION. If you have any questions regarding your application, please reach out to rescuerebuild@greatergood.org.
