Animal Rescue Cause Fund

While our love for animals may be limitless, quality shelter, security, food, health and other services for these animals are not. According to the Humane Society , 6-8 million animals enter US shelters each year, many of which require costly services like vaccinations, flea treatment and rehabilitation. That’s six to eight million animals that could use our support.

But that’s not all. Millions of wildlife are facing the danger of rapidly shrinking habitats, human conflict and climate change. They still need our help too and they can’t do it without us.

With your support, you'll join a community of supporters providing a voice to the voiceless and actively protect animals near and far. Your donation could help a shelter continue its operations, an animal sanctuary expand their care, a wildlife rescue rehabilitate a wounded animal, an organization train service dogs, and so much more. Will you join our cause?

Who benefits from your donation? 

When you make a donation to the GoFundMe.org Animal Rescue cause, you financially support those directly caring for animals across the globe. Let’s come together to help these animals who bring so much goodness to our world. GoFundMe.org distributes grants from this fundraiser to verified individual GoFundMe fundraisers and charities that are working to help animals in need.

Am I eligible for a grant? 

To qualify for an Animal Rescue grant, your GoFundMe fundraiser must benefit efforts to rescue, shelter, or provide veterinary care to animals in need, or to train groups of service animals. These funds cannot be granted to fundraisers for personal pets or caretakers affording personal vet bills.

GoFundMe.org eliminates the paradox of choice for donors by providing one centralized place to give, knowing that those dollars are efficiently dispersed to the right organizations and people. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible to the extent permissible by law.
