My Nonprofit Reviews

This charity helps volunteer organizations provide food and shelter for otherwise homeless cats and dogs. The man who started Second Acts, actor Michael Brown, has given many hours and his own money to get this charity established and further its goals, helping small shelters continue to provide care for, sadly, underfunded services to cats and dogs in need. I was so impressed with the focus on all-volunteer, no-kill shelters that I wanted to get involved. Second Acts brings attention to lesser-known shelters and rescue groups all across the USA and gives grants to many that need the most help. These smaller groups are working directly with cats and dogs at a local level. They don't have the resources that the Humane Society does, nor do they provide care for as many animals as Best Friends in Utah can, but the 10, 20, or maybe even 100 cats and dogs in their care depend on the food, shelter, and medical attention that these volunteer groups give them. These smaller shelters and rescue groups are often underfunded as they usually depend on small donations from local people and money out of their own pockets. A grant from Second Acts can be a big help. Second Acts appears at events here in the Los Angeles area throughout the year and keeps drawing people's attention to the no-kill shelter movement. While so many Americans are struggling in this economy, charitable donations are down all across the country. Second Acts plays a valuable role in keeping the shelter animal issue in the public eye and collecting donations for these cats and dogs who need our help so greatly. Everyone involved in Second Acts is a volunteer, and founder Michael Brown has so generously given his time and money on behalf of animals. Second Acts works hard to spread awareness of smaller no-kill shelters across America and to raise funds to help them in their wonderful work. I greatly applaud Second Acts and hope that this charity continues to grow.
