Donation Programs
CARE has several donation programs available, in conjunction with other companies and organizations:
  • eBayers donate a portion of your sales to C.A.R.E: When you list items for sale on eBay, you can donate a percentage of your sales to C.A.R.E through the eBay charitable giving program, Giving Works. Give as little as 10% or as much as 100% from anything you sell ($5 minimum donation required). When listing an item on eBay, pick the percentage you wish to donate you will then be asked to select the non-profit you want your donation to go to. C.A.R.E is a certified nonprofit listed in MissionFish, which coordinates eBay.s Giving Works. Enter "Chatham Animal Rescue and Education, Inc." or browse the list by clicking on C, scrolling to page 39 for C.A.R.E..s listing. Click on "Learn More" to see what other items are listed by C.A.R.E as a direct seller or by community sellers like you for the benefit of C.A.R.E. When your item is listed it will appear with the eBay Giving Works icon along with information about C.A.R.E and the percentage of the sales price that will be donated. When the listing ends, you pay MissionFish, who distributes the funds to C.A.R.E and provides you a tax receipt. You also receive a credit from eBay of a percentage of your insertion and final value fees in the same percentage as your donation.
