## What Elephant Sponsorship Through WARN Means
Elephant sponsorship is recurring support pooled into partner grants for anti-snare patrols, dart-and-treat veterinary response and humane coexistence tools — not co-sponsorship of a named elephant you visit or own. WARN is transparent upfront.

## How to Start Elephant Sponsorship from the UK
Visit /adopt/elephant, choose monthly or one-off from £5/month, pay in GBP, receive email receipt. Recurring gifts also work at /donate/monthly directed to elephants.

## What Your Elephant Sponsorship Pays For
Sponsorship income funds ranger patrols removing wire snares, mobile veterinary teams for injured elephants, early-warning systems in farming communities and orphan-calf care at partner facilities in Indonesia and Malaysia.

## Sumatran and Bornean Elephant Programmes
WARN's in-network elephant focus is Indonesia and Malaysia. See /countries/indonesia and /appeals/elephants for programme context. Sponsorship supports the whole elephant programme across both countries.

## Sponsorship Versus Zoo Elephant Sponsorship
Zoo sponsorship may fund a specific enclosure. WARN sponsorship funds partner-led anti-snare patrols and coexistence work across the 17-country network — direct field impact without individual animal marketing.

## Monthly Versus One-Off Elephant Sponsorship
Monthly from £5 at /adopt/elephant gives partners predictable patrol budgets. One-off gifts at /appeals/elephants suit urgent veterinary response moments.

## Gift Elephant Sponsorship for UK Occasions
Elephant sponsorship works for birthdays and Christmas. Checkout at /adopt/elephant, email WARN for a certificate. See /rescue/charity-gift-for-animal-lover — honest programme framing.

## Gift Aid and WARN Registration
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. Elephant sponsorship is not Gift Aid eligible. Compare symbolic adoption at /rescue/adopt-an-elephant-uk.

## Elephant Adoption Versus Sponsorship
Same partner-grant model — adoption terminology at /rescue/adopt-an-elephant-uk, checkout at /adopt/elephant. US donors: /rescue/sponsor-an-elephant-us.

## What WARN funds
- Anti-snare patrols and snare removal in elephant corridors.
- Mobile field-veterinary teams for injured elephants.
