How your donation will be used

FAWNA (NSW) receives no government funding, and relies on membership fees, public donations and grants to keep running:

• Around 4,500 animals are rescued annually bringing a large cost to ensure their rehabilitation meets Code of Practice standards of ongoing rehabilitation care, feeding and housing prior to their release back to the wild.
• In the last 12 months FAWNA spent over $31,000 on specialised wildlife foods and members spent more.
• FAWNA (NSW) volunteers operate over an area of 18,000 sq km. They give of their time freely with animal rescue and care, and telephone rescue duties on the 24/7/365 days telephone rescue “hotline”. Many volunteers spend their own money on their wildlife rescue and rehabilitation with vehicle costs, enclosures, pouches and bedding, medications, heating and power.
• Donating to your local licensed wildlife rescue and rehabilitation charity is a great way of contributing and making a difference to your local wildlife that needs human help in some way.
