BUB is a philanthropist: her pet parent, Mike Bridavsky, carefully ensures that proceeds from BUB’s ventures go back to helping special animals just like her. To date, BUB has raised nearly a quarter million dollars for animal welfare organizations.
Lil BUB’s BIG Fund for the ASPCA was launched this year and the Fund has already raised and granted over $75,000 to shelters and rescues across the country to help at-risk animals with special needs, such as birth defects, developmental disability, permanent diseases (FIV, diabetes, etc.), and wounds suffered from a disaster, accident, or abuse. The grants have helped cats and dogs who needed extra help getting adopted to find their forever homes. In many cases, the Fund literally saved lives.Lil BUB’s BIG Fund for the ASPCA is uniquely seeded in a number of creative ways: through direct donations from Lil BUB’s fans, royalties from Lil BUB’s store and other licensing partnerships, and proceeds from her meet-and-greet appearances. The mix of revenues has helped drive the Fund’s success – while there have been many generous donors, over two-thirds of the fundraising is derived from royalties and appearances.
