Despite non-animal methods now being available to scientific institutions, too many animals are still tested in laboratories. I became a financial supporter and donor to Animal-Free Science Advocacy because I know they will actively advocate to change this.
– Jan, supporter
As an organisation solely funded through donations, Animal-Free Science Advocacy 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.
Why is your support so important to us?
Unlike many other charities, Animal-Free Science Advocacy 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 solely reliant on memberships and donations to fund the important work that we undertake towards ending cruel and unnecessary animal experiments.
