Fundraising Internship
Barn Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for farmed animals that have been abused, abandoned, slated for death or are victims of natural disasters. We show farmed animals in a new light, highlighting their individuality by sharing their unique stories and educating the public about the treatment of animals raised for human consumption. We envision a world in which farmed animals are seen as individuals and treated with empathy and compassion.
