Progress Report for Mobile Paws For All

Welcome to 2025! Check out our first blog post for updates on our progress towards building our nonprofit!

Happy New Year!

Good morning 2025!

As we step into the new year, I wanted to take a moment to update you on the progress of Mobile Paws For All and the incredible journey we’ve been on to make our vision a reality.

As of December 31, 2024, we have raised $1,143.07 towards our $10,000 startup goal. Every dollar contributed brings us closer to fulfilling our mission of promoting the health and well-being of dogs in our neighborhoods.

Current Progress

We have already allocated $700 for LegalZoom’s nonprofit startup services and $225 toward our website and initial software needs. These investments are laying the foundation for everything we’ll achieve in 2025.
