STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

How is an Impact Partnership different from a regular donation?

Regular donations are incredibly valuable, helping us respond to urgent needs. Impact Partnerships go a step further.

They:

- Support specific and measurable outcomes like "desexing a remote community dog"

- Create momentum over time

- Consistently support the movement behind long-term change.  

- Help build sustainable systems that reduce animal suffering in remote Far North Queensland over time.

How do I contribute as an Impact Partner?

Choose a one-time, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly amount directed toward specific outcomes you care about.

Are Impact Partnerships suitable for individuals as well as businesses?

Yes.

Both are equally valued. What matters most is that your support aligns with how you want to be involved.

What do Impact Partners receive?

All Impact Partners receive:

We prioritise transparency and follow-through. If we say an outcome was funded, we show you how.

Partners regularly see increased customer engagement when their funding supports outcomes people care about.

Is my contribution tax deductible?

Yes. Remote Animal Assistance is registered with ACNC - DGR1 Status.

You will receive an automated, itemised tax receipt in your inbox immediately after your contribution is processed. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible.

Can I change or pause my partnership?

Absolutely, if you are contributing on a recurring basis, you can adjust your contribution, switch outcomes, pause, or end your partnership at any time.

We understand circumstances change.

How do you work with remote communities?

We work alongside existing veterinary programs, councils, animal management, and community services.

Our approach is collaborative, respectful, and practical. We focus on filling gaps, improving access, and providing sustainable solutions that work on the ground.

Can I speak to someone before committing?

Yes!

We encourage it. This is about alignment, not pressure.

You’re welcome to book a short conversation via the link on this page or email us at [email protected] to talk through your options before filling anything out.

Can I change my funded outcome over time?

Yes. Your partnership is designed to be flexible.

You can change the outcome you’re funding at any time. Simply cancel your current recurring donation and start a new one for your desired outcome/bucket you wish to contribute to.

How are your outcome amounts calculated?

Each outcome amount is based on real program costs including veterinary fees, transport, freight, medication, staffing and coordination. We have carefully measured the cost of delivering each outcome, and have tried to minimise our pricing to ensure maximum impact.

What happens if a bucket is overfunded?

If a surge of generosity pushes a bucket past its goal, we will reserve those funds for the next rescue or prevention visit. The funds will remain shown as available on the website.

How do you track where my money goes?

Every donation is tied to a specific 'bucket' with a clear outcome. Once a bucket is filled, we deliver that outcome at our next prevention visit or in the case of rescue and emergency vet work, when the next case surfaces.

Each month, we publish a detailed breakdown of how those funds were deployed in the community, including photos and stories of the animals helped.

Is there a minimum contribution?

No. Impact Partnerships are flexible.

How much admin is required?

Frequency based: Very little. You simply choose your outcome, select a frequency and complete the checkout process! Then, we'll reach out and ask for some basic details so we can acknowledge your contribution (optional).

From there, it's totally up to you how much promotion you do in celebration of being an Impact Partner. We've made this super easy, with simple ready-to-use social media tiles and copy-and-paste captions to make marketing your impact as simple as possible.

How do you choose which communities to support?

We partner closely with local leaders, elders, and community representatives in Far North Queensland. Interventions are always invited and collaborative, ensuring we respect the communities and address their most pressing animal welfare needs.

We also partner with council funded vet clinics, to ensure we can have as much impact as possible, as we know the funds you donate are precious, and we want them to extend as far as possible.

Can I see proof of the completed outcome?

Absolutely. Transparency is our core value. We document every clinic, surgery, and vaccination drive. We update our socials and mailing list with photos and reports as soon as our teams return from the community.
