When it comes to saving animals, Sage is barking up the right tree.

For nearly 15 years, Sage has worked with North Shore Animal League America on membership acquisition and fundraising promotions to support the rescue and adoption of animals in need.

Whether it’s donor acquisition, annual appeals, membership renewals, monthly-giving, sweeps packages or mid-level fundraising campaigns, we’ve used our direct marketing expertise to help NSALA grow their donor base and save thousands of pets.

Recurring donor winning package

Nonprofit organizations find it incredibly challenging to get donors to give monthly. Using a combination of adorable photos and compelling reasons why monthly giving is a great way to support the organization, this campaign showed that it is possible to get donors to change their giving behavior.

Winning format and strategy for sponsorship

Like people, pets sometimes have special needs too. Here, we featured the adorable Little Man to get existing donors to open the outer envelope.

We also leveraged the same format for both the recurring donor and sponsorship packages, which contributed to the success of this campaign. The sponsorship version let donors choose the special-needs animal they wanted to support by becoming a monthly sponsor.
