Monthly Donors

As an organisation solely funded through donations, AFSA urgently needs regular financial donors to help us continue our crucial work to end the suffering of millions of animals being routinely subjected to cruel and unethical experimentation within Australia’s medical and scientific research industry.

Your support is especially important because, unlike many other charities, AFSA does not have DGR (Deductible Gift Recipient) status – because our work is not classified as public benevolent, and does not involve “hands on” care of animals. This means that we do not qualify for many philanthropic grants that are available and which many charities depend on for their continued work. It also means that we are unable to take advantage of various other schemes such as workplace giving, as these also require DGR status. We are advocating to change this limitation. 

Furthermore, we do not receive ANY government funding.

We are therefore entirely reliant on memberships and donations to fund the important work that we do. The infographic below shows some of our main expenses and how your donation may be used to support our efforts. You can also see the achievements that were made possible through donations, here.
