This resource guide is for animal advocates looking to get funding in the first 1-3 years of their work. It assumes that you already have an idea and a strategy for your charity. It covers the absolute basics and provides a list of opportunities and the contact details of some consultants who can provide some customized help.

This doesn’t contain everything you need know and we don’t claim it’s a fundraising bible, but we hope that it will help some of you get initial funding for your project!

<aside> 💡 Please Note: Before you start fundraising for your project, it’s important that you carefully think about cost-effectiveness and check that you aren’t duplicating efforts. You can ask if anyone knows of similar projects in our #03-help-requests Slack channel. Sign up here if you’re not on our Slack.
