In this, Animals Asia’s 25th year, it’s heartening to see how much we have achieved together for the animals of Asia.

You’ve trusted us to put your kindness in action for the animals of Asia and we take that responsibility very seriously. This is why we have made the decision to change the structure of our fundraising operations within the US to significantly reduce administration costs and thereby increase the portion of donations from US donors that go directly to helping the animals.

We are partnering with Charities Aid Foundation America (CAF), an organization which exists to help charities like ours administer funds in the most effective way possible. Donations to Animals Asia will now be accepted through the Charities Aid Foundation.

So you can still make tax-deductible donations to Animals Asia in this way.

These changes will serve to increase the impact  your generous donations have on the wellbeing of the bears and other animals in our care.

If you have questions please don't hesitate to reach out to a member of the team.

Your continued support means the world to so many animals. Only because of your loyalty and generosity can we continue to put kindness in action every day.

Thank you.

Will CAF take a proportion of my gift? How much?
Yes, CAF will retain a maximum of 2% of donations for admin costs, which is significantly less than administration costs incurred previously. This is the major reason for the change.

I have a recurring gift set up to Animals Asia - what should I do?
As one of our most loyal donors your regular gift is vitally important to Animals Asia and our work. Thank you so much for your support.

We are unable to transfer your regular gift on your behalf so you’ll need to set up a new gift directly with CAF.

We will be in touch to advise you on how you can continue to support the animals by transferring your regular gift to CAF. In the meantime, your existing gifts will continue to be transferred to Animals Asia via AsiaWild.
