Our Commitment to You
Our supporters are vital to our success. Your generosity enables us to achieve long-lasting, meaningful outcomes for animals. That’s why we promise to treat you – and everyone else who crosses our path – with the greatest respect at all times.
When you donate to Animal Equality we promise to follow through on each of the commitments below.
We Will Use Your Donation Wisely
- We devote our resources to activities that are intended to help animals and are infomed by data
- We administer donations efficiently, putting your gift to work quickly.
- We maximise donations through Gift Aid, where eligibility and consent are agreed upon.
- We measure performance and evaluate our work regularly, ensuring we’re making the most of every penny.
- We can be flexible with your donation, so if you’re keen to support a particular area of our work let us know. It may not always be possible, but we’ll certainly do our best.
- We will gladly provide overarching information as to how our income is spent and answer all reasonable questions about our fundraising activities and costs.
