Growing Pains
Every year, Pumpkins For Pigs (PFP) tries something new — additional accepted items, new programs, different outreach approaches — and 2024 was no different. We overhauled our website and added Donation Site profiles. With those changes, there are growing pains that some of you have experienced with us over the last several weeks. We don’t back down from a challenge and the grace you’ve extended us has encouraged us to keep going. We regrouped, made a plan, and are moving forward toward our most successful year yet — with you.
Moving Forward
Profiles Automatically Renewed & Updates Needed
All Donation Site profiles have automatically renewed and remain on the website, so why would we still asking you to update your profile?
- Incomplete or Outdated Profiles. With each passing year, we learned and updated our intake to better help donors find you. We’ve added new programs, accepted items, and adapted to the interesting times we are living through. It’s possible your organization has also undergone changes, or in some cases, closed. Keeping your profile current ensures you receive only desired items.
- Demonstrating Impact. To qualify for crucial funding that helps us grow and improve, we need accurate data on the number of animals being supported. This information isn’t shared publicly on our website but is essential for funding opportunities. We also welcome your success stories to highlight your impact!
- Compliance Reporting. Lastly, staying up-to-date helps us meet necessary reporting, insurance and other legal obligations. It may not be the most exciting reason, but it’s an important one.
