Help from Home
If you are an IFAW supporter, please read our newsletters to keep informed of the issues on which we are working and be sure to complete and post the postcards that are included in many of our mailings. If you are interested in obtaining additional copies of our newsletter, action cards or any other items you receive in our mailings, please send us a sample or a description of the item you would like.
If you are not yet a supporter of IFAW, a donation of any amount will place your name in our database and you will begin receiving our newsletters. Please remember that the donation slip and return envelope included with each newsletter are for the convenience of those individuals who wish to send a donation each month.
Spread the Word
Share your knowledge with others. Let your friends, relatives and colleagues know what you have learned about the abuses inflicted on animals. Pass on the information you receive from IFAW. If you are at school, use animal topics for your school project; if you have children, encourage them to do the same.
If you are interested in obtaining additional information on IFAW campaigns to share with friends or to distribute in your community, please contact Supporter Relations on 1800 00 4329.
Write Letters
If a newsletter includes an address of a person influential in a particular issue and asks you to write, please do. This kind of support is very valuable to IFAW, and our successes prove that letter-writing campaigns do work!
Using Our Materials
You may reprint information or photographs you receive in our mailings in articles you write for newspapers, magazines, or newsletters as long as you clearly indicate in the article (or under photographs) that the information was reprinted with the permission of IFAW. Also, we would appreciate receiving a copy of any publication in which you use our materials.
Petitions
If you would like to create petitions for animal issues, please feel free to do so. Simply gather signatures and send your protests to the appropriate officials. If you would like to write to presidents, ambassadors or officials of other countries regarding animal welfare issues in those countries, you may obtain their names and addresses from the respective embassies in your capital city.
Careers Working With Animals
Contact your school careers adviser or the reference department of your library.
To Physically Help
If you would like to physically help an animal welfare organisation in your own area, visit www.fauna.org.au or check the yellow pages of your telephone directory under "Animals".
If you are unable to find local groups, please let us know and we will be happy to try to find one for you.
