Sighthounds Rescue South Africa (SRSA) Partnership Policy with Businesses

At Sighthounds Rescue South Africa (SRSA), we are deeply grateful for the support of businesses that help us achieve our mission of rescuing and rehoming sighthounds in need. By partnering with us, businesses not only contribute to a worthy cause but also demonstrate their commitment to animal welfare. These collaborations allow us to create a win-win situation where businesses can promote their products while supporting SRSA’s rescue efforts. Below is our policy outlining how such partnerships are managed:

1. Collaboration Overview

SRSA welcomes partnerships with businesses willing to share a portion of their proceeds from goods sold. While we do not provide paid media marketing for these goods, we actively promote them through the following channels:

• SRSA’s social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram)
• WhatsApp groups dedicated to our supporters and adopters
• In-person promotion and sales at events such as Paws a While, where businesses are invited to display and sell their goods at our stand.

These efforts aim to give the goods visibility among our loyal supporters and the broader community.

2. Contribution Structure

• Standard contribution: SRSA typically receives a % of the proceeds from goods sold.
• Flexibility: In recognition of the varying margins businesses face, SRSA is open to discussing what this % would be.
• Application: Businesses may choose to apply this contribution to sales of a specific good or across their product range, depending on what works best for their operations.

3. Additional Promotional Benefits

In addition to the promotional efforts mentioned above, SRSA will:

• Recommend goods to adopters: Actively recommend these products to families adopting hounds from our organisation.
• General promotion: Mention and showcase the products wherever feasible in our day-to-day communication and events.

These efforts aim to enhance the visibility of your business and ensure the goods reach their intended audience.

4. Donation Process

To formalize the partnership, businesses are asked to please transfer the agreed-upon percentage of proceeds to SRSA’s bank account. Please ensure donations are made via EFT with the reference "Merch" followed by your business name to facilitate tracking.

5. Final Note

SRSA values every contribution and the trust businesses place in our work. Together, we can ensure that sighthounds in need receive the care and love they deserve while supporting ethical and compassionate businesses.
