Why become an Alliance Participating Organization (APO)?
A STRONGER VOICE FOR OKLAHOMA’S ANIMALS! – As part of an alliance, animal welfare groups benefit from pooled resources and a centralized mission to save homeless pets.
Rescue organizations across the nation are joining hands to form coalitions, giving them more power to make a difference in the lives of homeless animals. These alliances, with as little as 5 rescue organizations to 150, communicate between groups, offer guidance and fresh perspectives on old topics and create a collective ability for greater strides in animal welfare.
By being part of an alliance or coalition, rescue groups don’t give up their self-governance or programs, but find that along with the increased pool of resources and information they can share, it also gives them the benefit of a united voice in the community on animal welfare topics.
When groups come together in an alliance, there is ONE coherent voice making the message more straightforward. When all stakeholders (animal welfare organizations) agree on a shared interest, policymakers reach decisions more readily.
The alliance’s messaging reaches a bigger audience but also creates a positive public image of cooperation.
