Donate For A Holiday Print

Five years, five prints, this is our big end-of-year fundraiser!

From now until December 31st, when you donate $100 or more to We Animals, we’ll send you a beautiful 8″ X 10″ matte print signed by our Founder Jo-Anne McArthur.

Plus, Vegan Grants has offered to match every year-end donation towards our goal of $30,00, so your gift will go twice as far.

Storytelling for Animals

We’re thrilled to collaborate with FIAPO to bring our work to their network of animal advocates and beyond.

To kick off this exciting collaboration, join FIAPO CEO, Bharati Ramachandran and We Animals founder, Jo-Anne McArthur for a webinar on using photography to create powerful narratives for animal advocacy. We’ll also be sharing more about our plans for this powerful collaboration in 2025.
