Planned allocation — not actual expenditure
Our unrestricted donation target
We target 80% of unrestricted donations for programme delivery, 12% for fundraising and communications, and 8% for governance and operations. These are planning targets. Gifts to a specific appeal follow that appeal’s published terms.
12%
Fundraising and communications
Reaching supporters, donor communications and the systems needed to raise funds.
8%
Governance and operations
Financial administration, regulatory reporting and essential operating costs.
The target concerns unrestricted donations, not total income or a guaranteed amount spent in each period. Published results must state their gross or net basis and how charges were classified. A grant can pay for necessary people and operations as well as supplies.
Actual results and accounts
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.
Cash received, grants approved, grants paid and a recipient’s eventual expenditure are different measures. We will identify the period, reconciliation date, accounting basis and source alongside published figures.
Statutory accounts, CIC reports and management summaries are different documents. A report will be described as audited only if it has been audited.
How a gift reaches the work
Our intended grant process starts with a defined purpose and an organisation able to deliver it. We check identity, relevant experience, proposed use, budget and reporting before making an award. Approval alone is not a payment.

Gifts to a specific appeal
An unrestricted gift can support animal-welfare programmes and the necessary costs of running WARN. A designated gift follows the purpose and conditions displayed before payment. Charges, eligible activities, recipient status and fallback arrangements must be clear.
Kalimantan: recipients are still being selected
The fire appeal supports response, recovery and prevention in Kalimantan. Actual transaction and transfer charges may be deducted. It accepts one-off gifts and includes dated review and refund commitments.
Read the complete fund terms before givingGrant 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.
Ask about a donation or grantDonation questions
Is the 80% figure achieved spending?
No. It is our planning target for unrestricted donations. Actual income, expenditure and grants must be reported separately for a stated period, with the accounting basis and charges explained.
Does the CIC asset lock guarantee an 80% allocation?
No. The CIC asset lock protects assets for community purposes. The 80% target is WARN’s own allocation policy, not a percentage imposed by the asset lock.
Can an appeal open before a recipient is selected?
Our Kalimantan appeal does this openly. The page and checkout state that recipients are still being selected and explain eligible purposes, charges, review dates and what happens if funds cannot be used as planned.
Can I claim Gift Aid?
WARN is a community interest company, not a registered charity, and does not offer Gift Aid. Company registration should not be confused with charity registration.
How can I manage or ask about a gift?
Contact [email protected] or use the donation-management page. Include a receipt reference if available, but never send full card details. Appeal-specific refund commitments take precedence over general discretionary refund wording.
