Ways to give
Ways to Give
Eight ways to fund partner-led animal rescue — and an honest note on the two routes that are not open to us, so you do not waste your time finding out the hard way.
In brief
You can give to the World Animal Rescue Network (WARN) once or monthly at https://worldanimalrescuenetwork.org/donate/, sponsor a programme from £5 a month, adopt an animal symbolically as a gift, give in memory, leave a legacy, or partner as a company. WARN is a Community Interest Company, not a charity — so gifts are not Gift Aid eligible, and payroll giving is not available.
Give once
Any amount · card, Apple Pay, Google Pay
A single gift to the unrestricted fund, so it reaches whichever rescue need is most urgent. Or pick a specific appeal at checkout.
Read moreGive monthly
From £5/month · cancel any time
Predictable income is what lets partners commit to a schedule rather than react. The single most useful way to give.
Read moreSponsor an animal
From £5/month
Monthly sponsorship of a specific programme, pooled across the whole effort rather than tied to one named animal. Digital updates through the year.
Read moreSymbolic adoption
From £5 · a gift for someone
Adopt an animal symbolically with a certificate to give. It funds the programme that protects the species — it does not place a pet in your home.
Read moreGive in memory
In memory of a person or a pet
Dedicate a gift in someone’s name, or add a pet to the memorial wall. No amount is expected and nothing is published without your say-so.
Read moreLeave a gift in your will
Legacy giving
A legacy can be left to WARN. Read this one carefully first: WARN is a CIC, so the tax position differs from a charity — take your solicitor’s advice.
Read moreCorporate giving
Partnership, match funding, CSR
Match funding, employee giving and co-branded campaigns, with reporting your board can actually use.
Read moreGive a charity gift
Birthdays, Christmas, occasions
A gift that funds rescue instead of filling a drawer, with a certificate for the recipient.
Read moreTwo things you cannot do — and why
- Payroll giving. UK Payroll Giving requires the recipient to be recognised by HMRC as a charity. WARN is a Community Interest Company, so it is not eligible — no agency can route payroll donations to it. Employer match funding is not restricted this way.
- Gift Aid. Gift Aid requires charity registration. WARN is a CIC with a statutory asset lock, not a registered charity, so it cannot claim the extra 25p per £1. Full position at registration status.
Both are real disadvantages next to a registered charity. We publish them here rather than let you discover them at checkout.
