INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING A DONATION:
For a one-off donation, choose the level of care and the corresponding donation amount will appear, then click on the button "ADD TO CART". (Note you can add more than one amount and they will accumulate. If, for example, you wanted to give AUD$1,500 ;-), choose "Food & Care 4 month" (AUD$1,000) click ADD TO CART, then click the CONTINUE SHOPPING button which pops up and click the "Food & Care 2 month" (AUD$500) and again click ADD TO CART. You will find both amounts in your cart and can continue to the check out from there.
Please consider a monthly recurring donation. To do so, click the FOR MONTHLY DONATION button and you'll be asked to specify the amount you would like to donate each month (PLEASE NOTE: the amount you nominate will be in Australian dollars AUD. If you are from outside Australia, it will be converted to your local currency when you are charged. To help you with conversion, AUD$20 = approximately GDP £10 or EUR €11.50 or USD $13, as at March 2020).
Then follow the simple instructions to register. Building a base of regular monthly donors is vital to a charity like Free the Bears, with our increasing numbers of rescues and a responsibility to provide lifelong care. We greatly appreciate anyone who can join as a monthly donor, no matter how small the contribution.
WORKPLACE GIVING: Your employer may have Workplace Giving in place, allowing you to make regular donations directly from your payroll, with your employer matching your donation, often up to 100% (i.e. in effect doubling your donation). Please check with your employer to see if they offer this option (and if they don't, please suggest that they enter a workplace giving programme such as benevity or good2give). Don't be shy to encourage your co-workers to enroll into the Workplace Giving programme at the same time you do - every donation is doubled.
Thank you for donating to help us care for rescued bears. For more information about how your donation will be used, please click here. Convert to your currency using the currency tab in the menu (limited currencies available). Please also consider sponsoring a bear or becoming a Bear Carer.
