Q: How much money is too much to donate to
BRAT?
A: BRAT sets no arbitrary limits on the amount we will accept from a
single donor. Nor do we set limits on how often you give.
Q: Can you recommend a schedule for giving to BRAT?
A: A nice starting place is a donation today and an annual donation sent on the
birthday of each furkid in the family.
Q: Won't my upright family members feel neglected
if I don't make a donation on their birthdays?
A: You are absolutely
right. Add those dates to your BRAT donation schedule!
Q: How can I convince my significant other that these checks I am
writing are really going to rescue basenjis?
A: That's easy; I can answer that one! Just have that inquiring person go
to our Donation Page to see your name on the list
of donors. Of course, if you prefer to remain anonymous, just let us know.
Q: Just out of curiosity, is there any connection between the behavior I
see in my basenji and the organization's name of BRAT?
A: I don't understand the question.
Q: Assuming I will be sending significant sums of money to BRAT on a
regular basis, what will my accountant have to say about this?
A: Your accountant! Explain the following: 1) BRAT donations may be
tax-deductible; 2) he/she may also donate to BRAT; 3) he/she may
complete a
BRAT adoption application to start their own adoption proceedings
(we strongly suggest that any potential adopters read our
Reality Stories
first).
Q: I cannot resist this offer to support BRAT. Where to I send the
money?
A: Hold that thought! Send your check made out to BRAT, Inc. to:
BRAT Treasurer
7255 Jermyn Cove
Germantown, TN 38138
Q: Is there any truth to the rumor that I can actually donate to BRAT at
the same time that I spend my money on book purchases through Amazon.com?
A: Yes--it's true! Aren't you glad this isn't one of those awful urban
myths about some laundry product, flashing headlights, or taxing the
internet? Just shop till you drop at our Amazon
bookstore and a portion of your purchase price is redirected back to
BRAT. (Now is the time to replace all those books your little b-pup shredded
for you.)
Q: What if I want to fill my house with neat basenji things, or what if
I want to send some of my neat basenji things to someone else's house?
A: Many of us can relate to this question. We find ourselves selling or
bidding on basenji items through online auctions where some sellers send a
portion of their sales to BRAT. (Get those bids in, folks.)
Q: I really want to donate to BRAT, but I never seem to have any extra
cash. Any suggestions?
A: Take several brown paper bags. Label them as follows: Basenji Swimming
Equipment and Basenji Rain Gear. Store your household tissue, toilet paper,
and Q-tips in them. The products will finally be safe (your basenjis won't
go near them) and the money you save on replacements alone can be used for a
significant donation to BRAT.
Q: Is it really true that BRAT uses it funds to send treats to basenjis
who have unfairly been put on diets and transports them to spas where they
get pampered day and night and where the sun always shines?
A: Hmmm. Now that sounds like an urban myth in the making. (I think this
question originated with a little basenji who is pouting about being on a
diet.) Actually, BRAT is involved in any activity involved in placing
unwanted Basenjis into permanent homes. BRAT does not get involved in
weight-loss programs.
