Client Spotlight: Washington Humane Society
The Washington Humane society is the only open-access animal shelter in the DC area and has been the leading voice for animals in the Nation’s capital since 1870. The WHS provides itself on never turning an animal away, and currently provides shelter and care to over 30,000 animals. This care of course requires a large amount of volunteer support. Hilltop Consultants worked with the WHS to provide recommendations on establishing meaningful and long term support for their shelters.
Hilltop Consultants provided recommendations on how to recruit volunteers from the area and how to sustain the volunteers for extended lengths of time. Additionally, because of the many universities and colleges in the area, the WHS has the opportunity to reach out to local students. Hilltop Consultants researched methods to create and market a successful college level internship, as well as looked to the DC Greek System to set up fundraising partnerships with the WHS.
