Over the past 50 years, World Animal Protection supporters have helped us end the needless suffering of animals around the world. We work around the globe to influence decision makers to put animals on the global agenda and to help the world see how important animals are to all of us.
Every gift you give through World Animal Gifts is a contribution which will help the program you have selected as well as our other animal welfare programs around the world. Your donation will be used where it is needed the most as we strive to create a world where animal welfare matters and animal cruelty has ended. The animals are grateful for every bit of generosity.
In 2022, 85% of funds raised* in New Zealand went towards protecting animals through our campaign work, be it lobbying and advocacy or caring for rescued bears at our partner sanctuaries. The rest of funds went into essential administrative and fundraising costs. We always ensure your vital donation is making the biggest impact for animals and is helping achieve lasting change.
For every $1 you donated in 2022: 85% went directly towards protecting animals around the world, 2% paid for staff and administration, and to help raise the next dollar – 13% was spent on fundraising.

Merchandise
Once merchandise is printed and shipped, the profit from the sale comes to World Animal Protection and is used to help animals where the need is greatest.
Our mission is to move the world to protect animals, not develop more merchandise product lines. We do offer jumpers, tshirts, bags etc so supporters can bring awareness to the suffering of animals but we use a platform that allows print on demand so there is no cost to our organisation.
