Give where the need is most urgent

Fund Frontline Animal Rescue

The most powerful way to help is to give where it's needed most. Unrestricted gifts let WARN move money fast to the most urgent rescue need — instead of being locked to a single cause.

  • Your gift goes to the greatest current need, not a fixed pot
  • Funds partner-led rescue, veterinary care and sanctuary capacity
  • Currency shown in your local money — give in £, $ or €

In brief

The best way to donate to WARN is to give where it's needed most — an unrestricted gift WARN can direct to the most urgent animal rescue need across 5 countries in South Asia, Southeast Asia and South America. You can give a one-off or monthly gift in your local currency; while the secure card portal is being finalised, gifts are taken by email or bank transfer and fully receipted.

Why Give Where It's Needed Most

Restricted gifts can sit unspent against one cause while an emergency goes unfunded elsewhere. An unrestricted gift gives WARN the freedom to send your support to the most urgent rescue need the moment it arises — that is the single most useful thing a donor can do.

Goes where it counts

Your gift reaches the most urgent frontline need across our network, not a fixed pot for one species.

Funds real rescue work

Veterinary care, neutering and vaccination, sanctuary capacity, anti-trafficking response and humane prevention.

Moves fast in a crisis

Unrestricted income lets WARN respond to emergencies without waiting for a single-cause campaign to fund.

Example impact in GBP: around £25 helps vaccinate street dogs against rabies through WHO-endorsed CNVR; £50 helps fund emergency veterinary care for a working donkey or horse; £100 supports the rescue-to-sanctuary journey for a trafficked animal. Figures are illustrative of partner-led costs and are not a guarantee of how any single gift is spent.

Donation FAQ

What does "give where it's needed most" mean?
It means an unrestricted donation — your gift is not tied to one animal or appeal. WARN directs it to the most urgent rescue need across its network at the time, which is the most useful kind of gift because it can move to emergencies as they happen rather than sitting against a single cause.
Why does the page show my local currency?
The donation widget uses Cloudflare to detect your country from your connection, then suggests the matching currency — for example £ for UK visitors and $ for US visitors. If that is unavailable, it falls back to your browser region. You can switch between GBP, USD and EUR at any time using the currency selector.
When will online card payments be available?
We are finalising our secure online card portal. Until then, the donate button opens a pre-filled email so we can arrange your gift by bank transfer and send a receipt.
Is my donation to WARN eligible for Gift Aid or tax relief?
No. Gift Aid is only available to UK registered charities. WARN is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC). International donors should check their own local rules.
Can I make a regular monthly gift?
Yes. Choose "Monthly" in the donation widget, or email us at [email protected] to set up a standing order. Monthly gifts are especially valuable because predictable income lets WARN plan ahead and commit to partners.
Can I still choose a specific appeal?
Yes. In the donation widget, choose "A specific appeal" to direct your gift to a cause such as elephants, working horses or street dogs. We simply recommend giving where it's needed most so funds stay flexible for urgent needs.
Will I receive a receipt?
Yes, every donation is receipted within one working day of us receiving it. We send receipts by email.
