I'm so glad you're here! Empowering Animals is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit community for people who love animals and want to make a difference. This community was created to connect animal lovers with trusted organizations, resources, stories, education, and opportunities to help animals around the world.

Each month, our community votes for an animal organization, rescue, sanctuary, or wildlife group to receive our monthly donation. No one can help every animal. But together, we can help far more than any of us could alone. ❤️ 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞'𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮! Introduce yourself in the comments and tell us a little about what brings you to Empowering Animals. If you'd like, share where you're joining from and your favorite animal.

One of the perks of reaching Level 5 in Empowering Animals is participating in our Free Friday Community Connections on the last Friday of every month. If you have a Skool community that helps animals or has a meaningful connection to animals, you'll be invited to share it with everyone here. It's a wonderful way to connect with fellow animal lovers while introducing your mission to people who care. Examples include: 🐾 Animal rescue or wildlife communities 🎨 Animal artists and pet photographers 🎥 Animal-focused creators or educators 🌱 Vegan or conservation communities 🐕 Pet training, therapy, enrichment, or wellness communities 💼 Businesses or services that support animals or the people who love them Not at Level 5 yet?
