How it works
At Animal Heroes, we believe you should be able to decide exactly how your donation is used.
Whether you want to support a specific animal rescuer, an emergency veterinary clinic, or a project that is close to your heart, the choice is yours. Every project page includes detailed information and a FAQ section, so you can make an informed decision about where your support will have the greatest impact.
Choose the project that matters to you
You can support any of the Animal Heroes projects on our platform. From emergency
veterinary care in conflict zones to food, shelter, and long-term support for rescued animals, every project addresses a specific need.
Prefer not to choose?
You can also make a general donation to Animal Heroes.
General donations are allocated to projects that receive less support than others, helping us ensure that important but less visible projects are not left behind. This allows us to provide balanced support across all of our Animal Heroes and respond where help is needed most.
Transparency and trust
All Animal Heroes projects are carefully reviewed by our team for legitimacy, animal welfare standards, security, and reliability before they are added to our platform.
Most projects have been personally visited by members of our team. For projects in active conflict zones or areas that are inaccessible due to security concerns, we work closely with trusted local partners and carry out extensive due diligence before providing support.
We maintain regular contact with the rescuers and veterinary teams we support and monitor the progress of the projects whenever possible.
When you support Animal Heroes, you know where your donation goes and the impact it helps create for animals in need.
How much of my donation goes to the animals?
Between 85% and 100% of your donation goes directly to animal projects. The exact percentage is specified in the FAQ section of each project.
Animal Heroes is run entirely by volunteers and operates with very low overhead costs. Whenever possible, our running costs are covered by sponsors so that more donor funds can go directly to animals in need. If needed, a small portion of donations may be used to cover essential expenses such as software, banking costs, and payment processing fees.
We believe in complete transparency, which is why the allocation of funds is clearly explained for every project.
Support a project your way
For each project, you can choose to make a donation yourself or become an Animal Heroes Ambassador by creating your own fundraiser and encouraging friends, family, colleagues, or your community to support the project.
Whether you donate, fundraise, or do both, you become part of a global community caring for animals in need.
Monthly donations make the biggest difference
While every donation helps, monthly donations allow us to provide reliable, long-term
support to animals in need.
Regular giving helps us plan ahead, respond more effectively to emergencies, and ensure that rescuers and veterinary teams can continue their work without interruption.
