## What Animal Rescue Donations Actually Fund
Rescue donations are not abstract goodwill — they pay for rabies vaccines and neutering in CNVR clinics, milk formula for orphaned orangutans, quarantine pens after meat-trade seizures, snare removal for gorillas and farriery for working donkeys. WARN pools gifts into partner grants across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa and South America.

## One-Off Versus Monthly Rescue Donations
One-off gifts at /donate suit urgent appeals — a trafficking seizure, a culling crisis or an orphan intake. Monthly giving at /donate/monthly or symbolic adoption at /adopt from £5/month lets partners plan multi-year CNVR rounds and rehabilitation schedules. See /rescue/monthly-donation-animal-rescue for the recurring case.

## How to Donate Money to Animal Rescue Through WARN
Visit /donate, choose one-off or monthly, pay via secure Stripe checkout in GBP, USD or EUR, and receive an email receipt. Direct gifts to species appeals at /appeals — street dogs, orangutans, pangolins, gorillas and more — or give generally so WARN allocates across the network.

## Choosing Where Your Rescue Donation Goes
Street dog CNVR routes through /appeals/karachi-dogs. Wildlife rescue through /appeals/pangolins, /appeals/tigers or /appeals/gorillas. Working equines through /appeals/working-donkeys. Country context at /countries/pakistan, /countries/indonesia and /countries/kenya. Unrestricted gifts let WARN respond to greatest current need.

## Honest Answers on Charity Status and Tax Relief
WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs. US donors should note WARN is not a US 501(c)(3). The case for animal rescue donations is transparent partner-led delivery with at least 80% programme funding — not tax relief.

## Why WARN Uses Partner Grants, Not Own Shelters
WARN is grant-making, not facility-operating. Established local shelters, sanctuaries and veterinary teams deliver field work; WARN raises internationally and channels funds with reporting. This reaches frontline need without building parallel WARN-branded infrastructure. Read /about/where-your-money-goes and /about/registration-status.

## Rescue Donation Receipts and Records
Every WARN rescue donation is receipted by email in GBP, USD or EUR. UK donors can keep records for personal tax purposes but cannot claim Gift Aid. See /rescue/gift-aid-uk-international-donors for full UK tax context.
