Welcome to the FAITHFUL FRIENDS – Keeping the Promise –
Capital Campaign for a new building
Help Minnesota Valley Humane Society raise $1 Million by July 31!
Divine intervention, fate, or happenstance; whatever the reason the results share the same happy ending…
• The Minnesota Valley Humane Society (MVHS) is selling its present site and will upgrade to an existing location. Plans to build a new facility have been abandoned.
• We’ve received a serious offer for our current building, and a Purchase Agreement has been signed.
• Now…an opportunity exists to purchase an almost new commercial property at far below its original cost—with four times the space (about 42,000 sq. ft.) and the capability to become environmentally sustainable. A purchase Agreement has been signed and negotiations are progressing. This site would be modified as a home for companion animals within our time-frame—allowing us to relocate by March of 2010.
This need is present and urgent…
Our capital goal is $4.7 million for a new building. Please consider helping us with a major financial gift that will make the difference in the lives of our companion animals. Naming opportunities are available to major donors.
• The current building is over 40 years old and is deteriorating rapidly.
• The size (about 10,000 sq. ft.) and layout of the building are inadequate to house and support the growing number of surrendered and abandoned animals.
• Recent professional assessment indicated that remodeling or adding-on to the building is not feasible due to inherent structural and mechanical faults.
We urgently need your help!
Gather your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and anyone else. Ask them to sponsor you…to build a new home for companion animals. We are counting on you to help us provide a safe haven for our animal friends.
Deadline for online pledges is 8:30 a.m. on
July 31, 2009.
