To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my support and admiration for the incredible work done by [Charity's Name] in advancing healthcare and research.

As a dedicated supporter of your organisation, I am committed to contributing to initiatives that improve human lives, so much so that today, I made a donation of [$X] to your charity.

While I fully endorse your mission and objectives, I kindly request that the donation I made today isn’t spent on research that involves animal experimentation. It is essential to me that my donations are directed toward ethical research methods that do not involve harm or suffering to animals.

If [Charity's Name] does not fund research that involves animal experimentation, can you please make this clear by applying to be added to the NZ Cruelty-Free Charities List here: www.nzavs.org.nz/take-action/cruelty-free-charities-list-application

This list is being developed by NZAVS, NZ’s only charity 100% dedicated to ending animal experimentation.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
