Working with animal-welfare organisations

WARN is developing its grant-making work. We assess organisations and proposed needs before agreeing support, and publish grant records as information becomes available. An educational page or directory listing does not establish a funded partnership.

Prepare a grant enquiry Check published recipients

What we look for

A useful proposal connects a current animal-welfare need to a capable organisation and a realistic plan. The assessment should establish who is accountable, what support would do and how the result could be reported.

Identity and authority

The organisation’s legal identity, relevant permissions, responsible contacts and ability to work in the proposed location.

Animal welfare

Appropriate professional oversight, handling and care standards, and a plan for the animals’ needs throughout the work.

A defined request

The location, activities, timescale, funding gap and an itemised budget with a clear currency.

Local understanding

How the proposal fits the community, relevant authorities and other responders’ work.

Practical delivery

Who will deliver the work, what capacity already exists and what constraints could affect the plan.

Proportionate reporting

Evidence suitable for the grant’s scale, with agreed financial records and realistic outcome reporting.

Prepare a concise enquiry

Start with the information below so WARN can understand the request. Avoid including donor banking details, identity documents or precise locations of vulnerable wildlife in an initial email.

Introduce the organisation: name, location, public website or registration reference and a responsible contact.
Describe the need: the animals or habitat concerned, the evidence and why support is needed now.
Explain the request: proposed activities, timeframe, amount, currency and a short budget summary.
State existing support: what resources are already available and which funding gap remains.
Explain accountability: who would oversee delivery and what records could be supplied.

An enquiry is not an application award or a promise of funding. WARN will need to assess suitability, available resources and the terms of any relevant appeal before agreeing support.

Email a grant enquiry

For an animal needing urgent help, use the animal-help finder or contact an appropriate local responder directly.

Grant register

Approved commitments and completed payments are different stages. Public records identify recipients and purposes without exposing donor details, banking information or sensitive wildlife locations.

Records not yet published

A reconciled financial summary and individual grant records have not yet been published here. This is a reporting status, not a statement that income, expenditure or grants are zero. Contact WARN for information about your gift.

Before an enquiry

Organisations and grants: questions answered

Which organisations does WARN fund?

The public grant register is the place to check published recipients, purposes, amounts and payment status. A country guide, news citation or directory entry does not establish a funded partnership. If no record is published, ask WARN for the current information.

Can our animal-welfare organisation contact WARN?

Yes. Send a concise enquiry explaining your legal identity, location, animal-welfare work, current need and proposed budget. An enquiry does not promise funding; any support depends on assessment, available funds and the relevant appeal purpose.

Does WARN operate the organisations in its directory?

No. The directory provides independent starting points for finding animal help. Readers should check the organisation’s own service area, credentials and current availability.

What happens after a possible recipient is assessed?

If suitable support is approved, the grant should have an agreed purpose, budget and reporting requirements. Public information should distinguish the decision from payment and from later reported results.

May we describe WARN as our partner before an agreement?

Use a partnership claim or WARN branding only after the relationship and permitted wording have been agreed. Meeting, corresponding or being mentioned in a source list is not an agreement.
