One of the best ways to help Faunalytics in our mission to inform and empower the animal advocacy movement is by donating. If you’re not in a position to make a donation yourself, or if you have the potential to mobilize and motivate a larger circle of people to donate to us, a Facebook or Instagram Fundraiser can help you achieve that goal! Whether you fundraise for your birthday, the holiday season, or just because you want to help us out, Facebook and Instagram have made the process easy. The best part is that these platforms take no fees, so we get 100% of what you raise!
