# Is My Donation to WARN Tax-Deductible in the US?

> WARN is a UK-registered global not-for-profit (Community Interest Company), not a US 501(c)(3) public charity. US donors can still give in USD with full receipts, but gifts are generally not tax-deductible on US federal returns — check your tax adviser for your situation.

## What WARN Is — and Is Not
World Animal Rescue Network CIC is a registered global not-for-profit animal welfare organisation incorporated in England and Wales (Company no. 17298990). It is not a US Internal Revenue Service recognised 501(c)(3) public charity, and WARN does not provide US tax-deductible donation receipts.

## How US Donors Can Still Give
American supporters can donate securely in USD (plus GBP and EUR) through the WARN donation page via Stripe, set up monthly giving, choose a symbolic adoption, or email for bank transfer details. Every gift is receipted for your records.

## What to Expect on US Tax Returns
Because WARN is not a 501(c)(3), US federal income-tax deductions for charitable contributions generally do not apply. State rules vary. WARN cannot advise on individual tax situations — consult a qualified US tax professional if you need guidance.

## US Donor Options Without 501(c)(3) Status
Americans can donate in USD via Stripe at /donate, set up monthly giving, choose symbolic adoption from $5/month equivalent, or email for wire transfer details. Full email receipts are provided for your records — but not US tax-deductible forms.

## DAF and Corporate Giving Considerations
Donor-advised funds and corporate programmes typically require US 501(c)(3) recipients. WARN cannot receive DAF grants directly. US donors who need tax deduction should consult their tax adviser about alternative giving structures — WARN focuses on transparent field delivery, not tax optimisation.

## What US Donors Fund Across 17 Countries
WARN's 17-country partner network across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa and South America. USD gifts fund the same partner-led CNVR, wildlife rescue, anti-trafficking and working-animal programmes as GBP gifts — with identical transparent grant reporting.

## What WARN funds
- Partner-led rescue across the 17-country partner network.
- Secure USD checkout with email receipts for every gift.
- Transparent programme funding with low fixed costs.
- Choice of unrestricted giving or species-specific appeals.
- USD receipts and transparent grant reporting for American supporters.
