How Peacebunny Islands Inc. funds are spent:

* Caring for the rabbits at Peacebunny Cottage
which is a lot of feed, grasses, plus housing and medical expenses such as spay / neuter and wellness checks for new rescues.

 

* Training the rescues & Kinderbunnies
(young rare heritage breed rabbits) who seem outgoing and eager to engage with people.  They will be certified as eligible comfort rabbits, therapy rabbits or emotional support rabbits (but they still have the autonomy to decide whether to participate and for how long).

* Providing facilities for the rabbits' housing &   

training and for hosting volunteers in training.

* Providing transportation to events

 

* Training volunteers

We have a budget for paying the unglamorous expenses that are paid for though our merchandise sales, paid events. 
 

This earned money goes towards things like domain names, taxes, staff, island mortgages, utilities, boat and auto expenses: they are not funded by donations unless someone designates their gift for general fund or mortgage fund.
 

As you give, consider the value of what you are helping provide. Here are some budget examples:

$5      Grass bale (We feed 2 bales every day)

$10   Three straw bales for fresh, dry bedding

$15:  Identification & t-shirt for a new volunteer

$25:  55 pounds of feed pellets - every day

$30:  Typical gas expense driving rabbits to educational events

$50: Purchase a wagon that brings rabbits to visit seniors  in their rooms at care facilities OR travel pen to set up in courtyard for people to watch the bunnies play

$75:   New rabbit carrier, allowing more rabbits to go with handlers to new sites. We need one carrier and one wagon per handler.

$100:  Wellness check to ensure rabbit's overall health and eligibility for therapy before visiting healthcare & hospice facilities
 

$200:  Basic food and bedding for each therapy rabbit for a year.
