1. Which payment types do you accept?

We accept PayPal, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club JCB, Maestro, Visa and Visa debit, and Direct Debit payments.

2. Can I make a donation in honour or in memory of someone?

Yes, we gratefully accept donations of any amount made in honour or in memory of a special human being or a beloved animal.

Should you wish to make a gift in memory of a departed friend, family member, or animal companion, our True Friends Memorials programme will honour and preserve the memory of the special animals who were your true friends as well as of those individuals who were true friends to animals.

Memorial donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. We will, at your request, also send a notification of the memorial gift to a family member or other individual designated by you.

PETA US also provides the opportunity to create a free online memorial page via its True Friends Memorials site.

3. Does PETA accept stock donations?

Yes, donating stock is an easy, wonderful way to help fund PETA’s programmes to end animal suffering. For more information on the benefits of donating stock, please contact us.

4. How much of my money will go directly towards helping animals as opposed to going towards administrative and other non-programme costs?

PETA ranks very high among non-profits when it comes to the efficient use of funds. We undergo an independent financial audit each year. In fiscal year 2023, more than 80% of our funding went directly to programmes to help animals. You can view our latest annual review here.

5. Why does PETA encourage people to donate fur garments?

By getting fur out of people’s wardrobes, we also help get it off the streets and provide a way for former fur-wearers who have had a change of heart to turn something negative into something positive. We use the furs that are donated to us to create informative displays and demonstrations to spread the word that millions of fur-bearing animals are cruelly killed every year to produce fur garments.

To donate a fur garment, please post it to our office at the following address:

Attn: Fur Campaign Department
PETA Foundation
PO Box 70315
London
N1P 2RG

If you know what type of fur it is, please enclose a note specifying this when you send your donation.

6. How can I update my mailing address in your records?

You can update the information we have about you by completing the “change of details” section in the mailings we send you. Alternatively, you can e-mail us at [email protected] or call our office on +44 (0) 20 7837 6327. PETA believes strongly in protecting the integrity and privacy of the personal data gathered from our members and supporters as well as visitors to our websites.

7. How can I get more involved with PETA’s work?

If you’re interested in becoming more active in animal rights and helping us with our vital work, you can join our Action Team mailing list and we’ll keep you up to date on our campaigns and other issues. One of the most effective ways to support our work is by making a donation. If you’d like to make a gift to enable us to continue our important work for animals, you can do so here.
