Humane World for Animals does not send receipts for individual donations under $75 unless specifically requested. Individuals who have made a one-time donation of $75 or more automatically receive a receipt. If you would like to receive a receipt for a single donation you made to Humane World for Animals, please call our membership department at 866-720-2676 and we can mail or email you a receipt. Members who donate online automatically receive a donation receipt sent to their registered email account for their first donation.

Humane World for Animals develops its mailings two months in advance. Often, a donation and the renewal notice cross in the mail. Be assured that your donation qualifies you for annual membership.

Your membership number is listed on the reply card of each Humane World for Animals mailing. Either above or below your name and address, there should be a long series of letters and numbers. The second section of that series is your membership number. For example: If the series "2101 123456789 2 H43W29" is listed on your mailing, then your membership number is "123456789." You may also acquire your membership number by giving us a call at 866-720-2676 and one of our representatives would be happy to assist you.

As the largest animal protection organization in the country, Humane World for Animals receives a large volume of mail. To best coordinate the timely receipt and processing of all correspondence, Humane World for Animals uses two mail houses, one in Washington, D.C. and one in Phoenix, Arizona. When responding to a Humane World for Animals mailing, we encourage you to use the provided postage-paid envelopes. This will ensure that your donations and letters are processed in a timely manner.

Humane World for Animals spends 71% of all gifts directly on lifesaving animal protection programs, while the remaining funds help maintain our infrastructure and operations. Like any nonprofit organization, Humane World for Animals carries out marketing, fundraising and public awareness programs designed to reach the public, grow our membership and influence key decision-makers in the public and private sectors. We take on puppy mills, factory farms, trophy hunts, animal testing and other cruel industries. Supporters and others can view the breakdown of our spending ratios and the work made possible by their donations in our annual reports and 990s.
