Working to make Vermont a more humane place for wildlife. Educating the public about the impact that personal decisions have on wildlife and the dangers and cruelty of trapping. Wildlife Education: POW conducted educational presentations to both adults and children about the importance and benefits to our planet of respecting and coexisting with wildlife. Solutions to wildlife issues were discussed in depth and humane alternatives to the needless killing and trapping of wildlife were recommended and encouraged. POW's social media postings, newspaper ads, TV and Radio ads, and our website, educate and inform people across Vermont, and beyond, about current wildlife issues. Our media postings also highlight the cruelties inherent in trapping and the hounding of bears, coyotes, and other wildlife and how people can help end these inhumane activities. POW's educational postings and media ads are updated consistently to make sure our over 3,000 Vermont supporters are kept informed about changes to wildlife policy. It is also through these postings and ads that we can reach more people about wildlife coexistence and humane alternatives to trapping and killing. 0 31657 Wildlife Rehabilitation: Vermont Rehabilitators receive no state or federal funding. POW helps these state licensed rehabilitators with funding for medicine, food, and enclosures to care for the sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife patients. POW also encourages and helps people receive their state licenses by paying for their expensive rabies vaccine which is necessary for their life saving work. 0 5282 Wetlands Protection and Beavers: Beaver dams are crucial to the creation of wetlands which provide diverse habitats and ecosystems and help stop climate change. Beaver dams can also cause flooding and damage to roads and infastructures. Many towns in Vermont will trap and kill beavers to stop the damage. POW has worked with six towns throughout Vermont to stop the needless killing of this apex species by helping to pay for the installation of water control devices. 0 14000 50939 Brenna Galdenzi President 35 0 0 0 Kristen Cameron Secretary 15 0 0 0 Patricia Monteferrante Treasurer 10 0 0 0 Holly Tippeth Vice President 15 0 0 0 John Aberth Director 5 0 0 0 Lisa Jablow Director 5 0 0 0 Jennifer Lovett Director 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Patricia Monteferrante PO Box 3024 Stowe VT 05672 8022531592 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 59532 48321 76037 150214 85677 419781 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 59532 48321 76037 150214 85677 419781 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 419781 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 59532 48321 76037 150214 85677 419781 1 1 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Donation to The Center for Humane Economy - a 501(c)(3) organization Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Office Expense;2523|Outreach and Education and Research;31657|Wildlife Rehabber Support;5282|Insurance;1150|Supplies;150^Total;40762^
