5. House Rabbit Society

   Charity: House Rabbit Society
   Website: https://rabbit.org/

   About (Taken from Site): House Rabbit Society (HRS) is an international nonprofit animal welfare organization with two primary goals:

   To rescue abandoned rabbits and find permanent homes for them and
   Through education, we seek to reduce the number of unwanted rabbits — and to improve bunnies’ lives — by helping people better understand these often misunderstood companion animals.
   

   Our philosophy of rescuing and educating to elevate the plight of domestic rabbits is what drives us. We operate an adoption and education center at our international headquarters in Richmond, California.

   Since House Rabbit Society was founded in 1988, over 45,000 rabbits have been rescued through our national rabbit center and our 30 local chapters across the United States and the world. Many of these bunnies had run out of time at animal shelters and were scheduled for euthanasia; others had been deemed “unadoptable” because of age, health, or disposition. HRS is able to spend time getting to know each individual bunny and can then match him or her with an appropriate home. We neuter/spay all incoming rabbits, obtain any necessary veterinary care, and attend to their social needs.

7. Shadow Cats

   https://shadowcats.net/

   In 1997 there were very few resources available for stray cats in the central Texas area and nationwide. Rampant breeding allowed cats to give birth to countless litters of kittens to continue the cycle of suffering. Doomed to an indifferent life on the streets, their lives were usually brief; or, if they ended up in shelters, they were usually euthanized soon after arrival.

   Identifying a great need, Shadow Cats became a reality- a resource for cats in the shadows.

   Through diligence, a small cadre of veterinarians and trappers began to work together to learn to humanely trap, sterilize, vaccinate and return feral cats to their original location and to watch over and manage them through regular feedings and providing outdoor sheltering if possible. (Trap, Neuter and Return or TNR). As TNR programs grew across the country, it became- and remains- the largest rabies vaccination program available for community cats. Shadow Cats has sterilized over 12,000 cats which represents countless kittens over the years not born into a world unwilling and unable to care for them. Our work would have been much easier if all was black and white, but with many of the cats we trapped, there were gray areas- cats that could not be "returned" to their colonies for a variety of reasons- injured, ill or social cats and kittens that had a chance at adoption. A small 10x10 structure was built off of a bedroom in the founders backyard and became the holding or fostering area for countless cats as we worked to bring them back to health, provide veterinary and supportive care and get them adopted into safe homes.

   Our TNR program had evolved into a sheltering and adoption program and The Sanctuary was born.

   Through years of hard work and perseverance, we have achieved many milestones for cats over the last 25 years. In 2010, Shadow Cats worked with the city of Round Rock, TX to pass ordinances to bring legal TNR to our city, in addition to petitioning other cities in the area including Leander, Lampasas and Taylor, TX. We were instrumental in the dismantling of the gas chamber in Taylor- responsible for the hard deaths of cats and dogs. We have provided mentorship and paved the way for many other rescue organizations since our early years. In 2013, we developed the One Life Fund, which allows us to help other feline organizations or good Samarians to address the needs needs of community cats in their areas with small grants to assist with TNR, injured cats, food and veterinary care. This has helped Shadow Cats extend our reach from our own community to far beyond what we can physically do ourselves and help cats near and far.

   Shadow Cats continues to provide TNR resources and is now also home to 80 special needs cats at our beautiful Sanctuary located on two beautiful treed acres in central Round Rock. Here, we provide hospice and long term care to special needs cats.

   Shadow Cats has grown from identifying a need to providing resources that were once unimaginable. We have seen what was once illegal become the norm- the standard for addressing community cat issues. Most in a community want the same thing- fewer stray cats. Shadow Cats chooses to provide services, options and alternatives to humanely address their needs while at the same time reduce their numbers.

10. Ian Clemens Foundation

    Ian Clemens Foundation

    http://ianclemensfoundation.org/

    Located in Michigan, United States

    The Mission of the Ian Clemens Foundation is threefold.
    We provide ASSISTANCE, promote AWARENESS and offer OPPORTUNITY.

    ASSISTANCE
    Our foundation assists families with children battling cancer by providing financial assistance to children’s cancer centers emergency funds (funds available to help families with travel expense, lodging, loss of income, and medical expense). We know first hand how stressful both emotionally and financially this can be.

    AWARENESS

    We aim to increase awareness for organ and tissue donation, as well as help those going through the transplantation process. Ian registered as an organ
    donor the day he received his license. This was very important to him. He was able to be an organ donor and provided the gift of sight to two people. Our board members regularly volunteer with Eversight Michigan and Gift of Life Michigan at their events.

    Michelle and Alan publicly speak on behalf of donor families.

    OPPORTUNITY

    We provide scholarship opportunities to well-deserving Wayne county high school students pursuing a degree in Engineering both at University of Michigan (through The Ian Clemens Memorial Scholarship for Future Engineers – University of Michigan College of Engineering) and other public Michigan universities.

    To Date, since our inception (July 2016), we have raised and distributed over $175,000.00 to those we serve. We are a 100% volunteer organization, every donation we receive goes directly to support our mission.

20. Muscular Dystrophy Association

    Families are at the heart of MDA's mission. We wake up every morning to create more hope and answers for families living with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular diseases that take away physical strength and mobility. We fund groundbreaking research for promising treatments and provide families with the highest quality care from the best doctors in the country.

    Here are the ways we’re helping achieve these goals so families can live longer and grow stronger:
    Innovations in Science

    At MDA, we take a big-picture perspective across the full spectrum of neuromuscular diseases to uncover breakthroughs that accelerate treatments and cures. The power in our research approach is that we can often apply learnings from one disease to achieve progress in others to bring urgently needed answers to our families.

    Here are some of our current highlights:

    Research: MDA is the largest source of funding for neuromuscular disease research outside the federal government and has committed more than $1 billion in funding since its inception.
    Treatments: Research we have supported is directly linked to approved, life-changing therapies across multiple neuromuscular diseases.
    Technology: Our MOVR platform is the first and only data hub that uniquely aggregates healthcare, genetic, and patient-reported data, transforming health outcomes and drug development in neuromuscular disease.
    

    Innovations in Care

    We know that early diagnosis, highly specialized care and access to promising clinical trials help ensure the best possible outcomes for individuals and families facing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related life-threatening diseases. That’s why MDA is here to provide care for kids and adults from day one.
