GLOBAL ANIMAL FOUNDATION

Global Animal Foundation charity logo

Global Animal Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity, functions like a Green Cross for animals. It’s an umbrella organization that distributes donations to vetted animal rescues worldwide to aid animals in crisis. Our mission is to swiftly get resources on the ground during natural disasters and other emergencies that put animals, from pets to wildlife, in critical peril.  

Global Animal Foundation is committed to transparency and requires the same of the animal organizations the Foundation supports. After a selection process, we send money to a network of organizations covering all aspects of aid for that particular emergency. This is an effective way for animal lovers to provide continuing and comprehensive aid, including: rescue, vet care, food, water, shelter, reunion with guardians, or adoption if needed. 

Global Animal Foundation is a California Nonprofit Corporation with IRS 501(c)3 recognition. Your donation is tax-deductible.

The funds supported the animal rescue organizations that stepped up to provide shelter, food and care for many of the dogs and cats until they found their forever homes.
