Donate to Friends of Mexican Animal Welfare (Friends) to Support Animal Welfare
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose work is funded 100% through donations and grants. Our donors help animals and the communities they live through our:
- low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Manzanillo, Mexico, operated Alianza Animal Manzanillo, our registered Mexican non-profit organization;
- surgical training and continuing education, courses for Latin American veterinarians involved in spay/neuter work;
- street animal outreach, Animal Angels Manzanillo, which assists free-roaming animals with food, medical care, treatment for TVT and free spay/neuter surgeries; and
- additional grassroots animal welfare projects throughout Mexico.
Donation Options
Donations can be made directly to Friends by check or via our online link to PayPal. Other ways to help the animals include recurring donations, bequests, and by shopping online with Amazon Smile.
All donations to Friends are US tax-deductible.* Your donation is distributed to your designated organizations and activities according to IRS regulations.
*Tax statements are sent to donors at the beginning of each year in time for filing the previous year’s tax return.
