More about our work

The Foundation for animals is a non-membership organization led by a dedicated leadership team, operating entirely voluntarily. The members of the leadership team selflessly contribute their work, knowledge, time, and financial resources, fully covering the organization’s operational costs themselves. Thanks to this commitment, we can guarantee complete transparency: every euro you donate goes exclusively toward helping animals—providing them with care, medical treatment, and a better future.
