CRA tax receipts will be issued in February 2025.
U.S. tax-deductible donations issued by Global Giving.
Let’s get the word out there!
Let your voice be heard by helping us reach out to research facilities and private laboratories asking them to release their animals to us.
We are calling on you to both email and write “old school” letters. Feel free to edit and use your own words and subject line. We do ask that you be kind and respectful. Our goal is to reach as many people as possible via both email and snail mail.
AND CONTINUE SPEAKING OUT: Consider marking this on your calendar, saving emails and mailing and/or emailing on a monthly basis. We want to get through to these facilities and send the message that we care and that we are persistent.
Write a letter
Choose the facility or facilities that you would like to reach out to and download the Word file, print and mail.
Email a Message
Once you click the “Email Link” under Send Emails Today, the text will automatically display in your email with the subject line (you may edit) and hit send! (On phones or some computers, you may have to download the letter and copy and paste it into your email.)
