ALLOWED TO GROW OLD FOUNDATION LTD

Giving Philosophy

AtGO prioritises direct impact and operational efficiency, funding only organisations that spend money on animals rather than bureaucracy. It favours collaborative partnerships with like-minded peers and supports both direct rescue/care activities and systemic change through policy advocacy and education.

Tips for Applicants

Demonstrate direct animal welfare outcomes and operational efficiency. Partner organisations should show how funding translates to animal care rather than administrative costs. Alignment with AtGO's three pillars (rescue/rehoming, education, policy advocacy) strengthens applications.
