Financial Information
At AWIP, we are committed to ensuring that every donation has the greatest possible impact for animals. For the year ending March 2024:
- 88% of our income was dedicated to frontline animal welfare programmes, including investigations, rescues, and intelligence work.
- 8% was invested in fundraising, allowing us to reach more supporters and expand our life-saving efforts.
- 4% covered essential administrative costs, ensuring we operate efficiently and effectively.
Your generosity enables us to rescue animals in urgent need, conduct critical investigations, and bring offenders to justice. The animals you help save are incredibly grateful for your support—and so are we.
We believe in running a lean, impact-driven organisation, minimising bureaucracy so that the majority of our resources go directly towards protecting animals from cruelty.

Further Information
As an organisation tackling organised animal cruelty, including dogfighting networks and related criminal activity, we must take measures to protect the integrity of our work. Publicly disclosing full financial details could provide those who oppose our mission—including criminal networks—insight into our investigative capacity, allowing them to adjust tactics, evade detection, or anticipate our actions.
We know that our supporters care most about impact and trust us to focus resources where they are needed most.
To ensure we can continue exposing cruelty and holding perpetrators to account, we do not publish full income and expenditure details. However, we uphold the highest standards of financial accountability, ensuring that donations are used responsibly and effectively to create real, measurable change.
