PETA has been around for over 40 years and has become the biggest and most well-known animal rights organization in the world. You’ve prob heard about some of our biggest victories for animals—but do you ever wonder how our organization works? Here’s everything you need to know about how donations given to PETA help save countless animals around the globe:

How Does PETA Make Money?

PETA is a nonprofit organization, so we operate differently from for-profit companies. While for-profits get most of their money from selling goods or services, we get most of ours from donations from supporters. Whether they donate $5 or $500, those supporters help fuel our work to save animals.

What Does PETA Do With Donations?

We spend most of the money donated to us on programs that include the following:

• Money for international grassroots campaigns goes toward managing campaigns that fight against corporations and industries that harm animals.
• Money for public outreach and education goes toward spreading info about animal rights, advocacy, and vegan living to as many people as possible.
• Money for research, investigations, and rescue goes toward developing compassionate research methods, exposing animal abuse, and rescuing animals from those who hurt them.

Donating as little as $5 helps fund these and other lifesaving activities that can make the difference between suffering and thriving for an animal.
