Transparency
We believe it is important for you to see what happens to your donation and what we achieve with it. Not just in terms of figures, but especially through the animals we help, the people who dedicate themselves to them, the projects we support and the challenges we face along the way.
That is why we share our projects, the results, and our financial reports for each project.
What we can achieve with your support
From emergency medical care and food to shelter and rescue operations: thanks to your donation, local carers can help animals in need. We always work closely with people on the ground. They know the animals, understand the situation and know where help is needed most. Through our project updates, we use photos, stories and information to show what happens with the donations and what help we can provide.
How does the money get spent?
Animal Heroes is run entirely by volunteers, including the board. Nobody receives any remuneration. We operate without an office and keep our organisational costs as low as possible, so that as much money as possible goes to animals in need. We select our local partners carefully and make clear agreements on how donations are to be spent. In our annual financial reports, we show how much money we receive, where it comes from and what it is spent on.
Aid work in crisis zones does not always go to plan
In crisis zones, the situation can change from one day to the next. Borders close, areas become inaccessible, or an emergency calls for a different approach.
When circumstances change, we adapt our aid work. We maintain close contact with our local partners, monitor how donations are spent and share important developments with our donors.
When funds can no longer be used for their original purpose, we try to allocate them to similar animal welfare projects, whilst respecting any conditions attached to the donation.
The people behind Animal Heroes
Animal Heroes is made up of a dedicated team of volunteers with a big heart for animals. We believe in taking action, working together and finding solutions, even when circumstances are difficult. We know the people we work with, monitor our projects closely and visit them in person wherever possible.
