Button and Zipper’s coat drive efforts will continue to move forward into our 2020-2021 season, however, we have decided to pivot our efforts to focus on fundraising for new coats to be considerate and mindful of our Coat Drive Champions, volunteers, and partners.The uncertainty and overhaul necessary to execute our traditional collections, sorting, and distributions efforts would require a greater amount of resources from the community and our staff.
By creating a Virtual Doat Drive we believe we can safely and effectively continue to make an impact for the communities we serve throughout the Denver Metro and Chicagoland areas.
Join us this season by participating in our peer to peer fundraising efforts as an individual or team to support us by providing warmth to individuals in need throughout the winter months.

We are seeking for a volunteer that can assist our social media team in promoting KSTR online and soliciting donations. This should include helping to maximize our reach/exposure on social media (through quality content, working with sites' specific algorithms, posting times and targeting audiences) to help elevate our non-profit profile and audience.The ideal candidate has experience or skills with the above, as well as content creation, video editing/formatting, hashtags & keywords, consolidating/organizing information, and using shared online media drives. Bonus assets include website editing/development, copywriting articles and powerful posts, work with non-profits, fundraising, donor relations, campaign development, grant seeking, special promotions & advertising, advanced video skills, photoshop and/or graphic design, use of SEO and analytics.
We have a library of reports done on resources related on how to improve our marketing, social media and fundraising work. We need someone to go through the reports, and know how to make action plans from them, so we can implement what is on the reports and put the strategies into use.
Due to the Covid-19 crisis, KSTR has been closed to guests and volunteers since late March. This has left donations as our only source of funds. In order to maintain the facility, we have had to focus what resources we can spare on promotion, especially in video and photos of our animals as well as fundraising strategies. This position can be done remotely, along with a good internet connection. The team would coordinate with you by email and WhatsApp, as well as the shared online drive for media content, direction and notes. You may also be asked to help organize the drive for easier reference & removal of duplicated, poor quality, or out-dated content, or consolidate various separate drives into one. Projects will be assigned by the social media team, who will oversee and publish finished work on our website or social media platforms, unless you are asked to do so.
For more information, please send your CV/ Resume and contact Dani Dion at: volunteer@kstr.org
Volunteers must also be patient and have advanced writing skills, since all content must be properly edited. Photoshop or other photo editing experience is preferred, but not required.
Spanish language skills is also a plus, as we are trying to increase our bilingual approach and reach more people within Costa Rica and other Latin American countries.
Advanced video creation/editing skills and software are a plus, specifically splicing .mp4 video files with .m4a audio files into a single movie. Further media may be in .gif, .jpeg, or filmed on iPhone, and captions or voiceovers may be added with separate files.

The Silicon Valley Talent Partnership (an initiative of Joint Venture Silicon Valley) is looking for a pro bono team of professionals for the following project:Improving Opinions Toward Affordable Housing
Founded in 2015, SV@Home is a nonprofit organization that advocates for policies, programs, land use, and funding that lead to an increased supply of affordable housing. In 2016 Measure A, a $950 million bond measure to fund affordable housing, passed with an incredible 68 percent of voters’ support. This bond is part of the solution that can help ensure housing is built for some of the 35% of households in Santa Clara County (225,392 families) that are rent-burdened: paying more than 30% of their annual income for housing. This rent burden leaves families less money available for education, healthcare, healthy food, and more.
Despite the empathy and support that led to the passage of Measure A, every time a development that includes affordable housing is proposed, it faces stiff opposition from community members who agree that the lack of housing is a problem but still don’t want it built in their neighborhoods. This opposition based on misconceptions about increased density, affordable housing, and the people who live there, drives up the costs to developers and extends the timeline for a development to be built to five to seven years on average - often making development infeasible. SV@Home knows that solving the region’s affordable housing problem will take money and smart, effective policies, but it will also take the changing of hearts and minds.
SV@Home is ready to influence the larger narrative around affordable housing by implementing a creative campaign that will help residents of Silicon Valley understand the urgency of the housing crisis and how they are connected to the solution. To do this, SV@Home is engaging pro bono talent to help develop a persuasive marketing campaign that can be strategically implemented as the organization grows.
Project Scope:
Provide SV@Home with creative marketing content and an actionable plan that will help bring awareness to the issue of affordable housing and educate the public on its benefits. This project will involve multiple interviews with internal SV@Home staff and key stakeholders, but most of the project can be done remotely as a team.
Outline of Project Phases
Discovery
● Research marketing and public awareness efforts in other geographic areas that have been able to push the affordable housing movement forward (or other large social movements) and identify what characteristics and partnerships led to their success.
● Analyze research on who the “persuadables” are with regard to affordable housing along with localized data to identify the target population for the campaign.
Ideation and Development
● Develop a creative marketing framework with ‘viral’ potential that combines the project research with the expertise and input of SV@Home staff and stakeholders and is mindful of the current crises affecting our communities. A successful campaign will focus on influencing favorability in the market on affordable housing; SV@Home branding is not the priority.
Campaign Deliverable
● Provide the final campaign framework that includes a slogan/tagline, initial graphics, style and messaging guide as well as suggested metrics to measure success.
● Give SV@Home a roll-out plan for the campaign that reflects options that are accessible at various budget levels. Prioritize details on the implementation of short term, low-no cost activities but also provide an outline of what a full campaign might entail so that SV@Home can use this plan to raise funds for implementation.
Impact
The affordable housing crisis is one of the defining challenges of our region today. Improving public awareness and opinion toward the development of affordable housing is crucial to being able to make a dent in providing enough housing for families in Santa Clara County and improving our community’s health, equity and education. Reducing public opposition will make the development timeline shorter and less costly - which will incentivize more developers. Building more homes by modestly increasing density will help more families and reduce the cost of housing.
Resources Requested
Looking to recruit a pro bono team of 3-5 individuals with experience in marketing; specifically in the areas of:
● Strategic Communications
● Planning
● Copywriting
● Art direction
● Project management Timing
Start: Fall 2020
Project Length: Approximately 12 Weeks (3-5 hours per week per team member)
