Donor guides FAQ
How do I choose the right WARN giving guide?
Start with what you want to do: make a one-off donation, give monthly, arrange a symbolic adoption or find a local rescue. Each guide explains the available route, what a gift supports and the questions to check before giving.
Is WARN a registered charity?
No — World Animal Rescue Network is a registered global not-for-profit animal welfare organisation, not a registered charity. WARN is a regulated not-for-profit with a statutory asset lock that keeps assets dedicated to animal welfare and community benefit. Legal registration details are on our registration status page. See registration status.
Can US donors give in dollars?
Yes. Select USD at donate. WARN is a UK Community Interest Company, not a US 501(c)(3), and does not offer a US charitable tax deduction. Review registration status for the organisation’s details.
Can UK donors claim Gift Aid?
No. WARN is not eligible to claim Gift Aid. World Animal Rescue Network is a registered global not-for-profit animal welfare organisation, not a registered charity. International donors should check their own local rules. See gift aid uk international donors.
Where can I find guidance for an animal that needs help?
rescue has practical first-contact guidance, and shelter directory links to independent organisations and rehoming resources. Contact a local veterinarian or qualified rescuer for an urgent animal-welfare incident; WARN cannot dispatch a rescue team.
What is symbolic adoption?
Symbolic adoption is a donation connected to an animal appeal. It does not transfer ownership or reserve a particular animal. See symbolic adoption for the appeal, funding terms and available giving options.
Where can I see which organisations receive funds?
Use /about/where-your-money-goes/#grant-register for published recipient decisions, payments and reported results. Country guides are educational coverage, not a count of funded programmes. Missing published records should not be read as a reported zero.
How do I donate now?
At donate, choose an appeal or general support, an affordable amount, your currency and one-off or monthly giving. Review your selection before continuing to Stripe checkout.
