FAQs
Is World Animal Protection a legitimate charity?
Yes, World Animal Protection is a registered charity.
We’re a global animal welfare organisation and have been campaigning for over 75 years to end animal cruelty and suffering in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world. From the boardrooms of large corporations to the frontline of the wildlife trade, our supporters help us create better lives for all animals.
How many years has World Animal Protection been protecting animals?
We have been moving the world to protect animals for over 75 years. Together, we’ve made huge strides in our mission to protect animals.
We were known as WSPA, and became World Animal Protection in 2014. While our name changed, our determination to protect animals remains the same.
Just like our supporters worldwide, we know change for the better is always possible.
Are donations to World Animal Protection tax deductible?
World Animal Protection is a global charity - we use the collective power of our worldwide offices to deliver long-term solutions to end animal cruelty in more than 50 countries; both in New Zealand and overseas.
In New Zealand, donee status is granted to charities that are either based in New Zealand and predominately use their funds for local purposes, or are a humanitarian group. We are certainly a registered charity, but our on-going dedication to global animal welfare issues (of which New Zealand is a part) means we have not been granted donee status in New Zealand by the IRD, and unfortunately donations cannot be claimed at this time.
