My Nonprofit Reviews

As co-founder, former Board Member, client, as well as on-going donor, volunteer and advisor to the Ferret Association (FACT), I have watched it maintain focus and commitment to both ferrets, the ferret community and the public. From humble beginnings in 1991 as a local shelter doing small events with a one-sheet ferret care leaflet, FACT has grown into a many faceted organization.

FACT not only adopts and provides behavioral and care information about ferrets, but also created and operates a foster ferret program patterned on the Save the Children model, which eliminates the need to warehouse elderly ferrets in a shelter. The group also publishes two print -newsletters; has an extensive information website; created and maintains a directory of ferret shelters within the US, UK and AU; and, manages two specialized ferret grant funds.

It has taken over 30 years to reach this point. I am proud to support and guide FACT in helping ferrets and the public no matter where they may happen to exist.
