How can I donate on CUDDLY?
There are three ways to donate through CUDDLY!
Choose a specific animal to support from the hundreds of campaigns we have featured on our site.
You can choose specific items from that animal's wish list or send a monetary donation to
support that animal's care. Browse fundraising campaigns here: https://cuddly.com/donate/change-a-life
Make a One-Time Donation. Sometimes, it can be hard to pick just one animal to help. Your
one-time general donation to CUDDLY will be used to send much-needed items, like food, medical
supplies, and other essentials, to the organizations with the greatest needs. Make a One-Time
Donation here: https://cuddly.com/one-time
Join CUDDLY Club and make a monthly donation in an amount of your choosing! You can support
countless shelters, rescues, and animals in need by donating monthly through CUDDLY Club. Like
One-Time Donation, your contribution will be used to send essential items to organizations with
the greatest needs each month. Join CUDDLY Club here: https://cuddly.com/club
How can I obtain a copy of my tax receipt?
After you make a donation, a receipt is automatically sent to the email you used at checkout.
You can also find a complete list of your receipts by logging into your Donor Profile. (If you haven't created an account
yet, you can sign up for one using the same email you used at checkout.) Once logged in, you can
find your receipts in the Donation History section of your account. We group your
donations by year, and you can download an Excel or PDF document for your tax records.
Where do my donations go?
If you have donated directly to a specific animal or organization through their campaign page,
your donation will go directly to that animal or organization! If you have made a One-Time
Donation or if you donate through CUDDLY Club, your donation will go to the organization with
the greatest level of need.
100% of wish list donations and 90% of monetary donations go to the animals. CUDDLY retains 10%
of any monetary donations to ensure our platform remains completely free for our rescue
partners.
All partners actively using CUDDLY are certified 501c3 nonprofit or municipal agencies that have
been individually verified to ensure they are trustworthy and in good standing.
What is CUDDLY Club and how does it help animals in need?
CUDDLY Club is our monthly donation option. Sometimes, choosing just one animal from the
hundreds in need of help can be a daunting task. CUDDLY Club allows donors to make a recurring
donation in the amount of their choosing that is used to provide animal welfare organizations
with the essential supplies they need. Each month, CUDDLY supports the organizations with the
greatest level of need, ensuring they have everything required to keep their life-saving work
going.
By joining CUDDLY Club, you are helping thousands of animals every year. The CUDDLY Team sends a
newsletter to Club members every month, sharing the impact their donations have had.
Yes! CUDDLY is a fundraising platform that works with verified 501c3 animal welfare nonprofits
to support their fundraising efforts. We currently work with over 4,000+ animal welfare
organizations, many of whom have been CUDDLY partners for several years!
Our partners continue to use our platform because we help them get what they need. Partners
routinely share updates to the animals' campaign pages, detailing how donations have aided in
the animals' recovery. Both monetary and wish list donations are sent directly to the rescue
organization.
All donations made through CUDDLY are tax-deductible. CUDDLY maintains a 4.8/5 rating on
Trustpilot and we were awarded an A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau.
