How animal welfare in Australia is funded is outdated and underfunded.
Over 760 organisations across Australia support pets, native wildlife and farm animals, and 64% receive no government funding.
Many smaller organisations rely heavily on donations to keep doing their vital work. As operating costs continue to rise, that support matters more than ever.
Our goal is to give these organisations an extra way to fundraise. The organisations we work with are nominated by you and reviewed each quarter. Once selected, they become one of our Partnership Pals and remain in the program, so you can choose them to receive the donation from your order.

Animal Shelters & Rescues
