🚨 SCAM ALERT FOR NONPROFITS & BUSINESSES 🚨
Below is the exact text of a targeted phishing email circulating to organizations, along with how it bypassed standard security filters:
EMAIL HEADER & TEXT:
From: [email protected]
Subject: Selection for Support / Grant Notice

⚠️ DO NOT OPEN THIS ATTACHMENT OR REPLY. ⚠️
How This Email Bypassed Gmail Filters:
Valid Domain Authentication (SPF/DKIM): The sending domain matched its DNS technical security checks, allowing it to bypass basic spoofing detection.
Image-Based Text Evasion: Key trigger words (grant, proposal, funding) were hidden inside an image within a PDF rather than plain email text, preventing automated scanners from flagging suspicious language.
Clean Attachment Footprint: The 2.9 MB PDF contained no obvious malicious ex*****on scripts or macro code on initial automated scanning.
Typosquatted Lookalike Domain: The body and signature direct responses to ⁠texar.org⁠ (missing the "s" from the real nonprofit TEXSAR), routing communications to a privately registered domain.
What to do if you receive it:
1. Do not click or open any attachments.
2. Report the email as Phishing in your email system (Gmail/Outlook).
3. Warn your finance, operations, and administrative teams immediately.
Please share this post to help protect other nonprofits and small businesses from falling victim to this campaign!

We love our animal saving friends and neighbors, we are so glad to help wherever we can

Betty the Bald Eagle mascot was recently spotted helping out with some of the behind-the-scenes work at PRWC!

While Betty may have been lending a wing in this photo, keeping our facilities clean and ready for wildlife care takes a steady supply of essential items every day.

That's why we're grateful for Waste to Charity. Their support helps us access supplies that assist with the daily operations of our organization, allowing us to focus more resources on our mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and educating about native Florida wildlife.

Many of the items that keep PRWC running happen behind the scenes, but their impact is felt throughout our organization every day.

Thank you, Waste to Charity, for helping support wildlife care in our community.

Do you know of a company that has or is generating customer returns, or obsolete inventory? Please let them know they can get significant tax relief, and empty their warehouse spacer at the same time!

We are incredibly proud to announce a major milestone for Waste to Charity, Inc.! In 2025, through our powerful partnership with Pet Projects for Pets and Greater Giving Charities, we distributed over 250,000 pounds of pet food and products to pets in need from our Venice warehouse. 🐶🐱 This monumental effort wouldn't be possible without your support and the dedication of our partners and our amazing staff. Every pound we send to local rescues helps feed pets waiting for homes and helps pet owners keep their beloved companions fed and healthy, making a real difference in their lives. Thank you for helping us turn waste into charity!

🐾 A HUGE Thank You to Our Amazing Community! 🐾
