Frequently Asked Questions

Considering monthly giving to Ahimsa Safe Haven? We're here to answer your questions and help you make a lasting difference in the lives of over 120 rescued animals.

What is the Kindness Circle? +

The Kindness Circle is Ahimsa Safe Haven's monthly giving program that allows you to make an automatic monthly donation that directly supports the daily care of our rescued chickens, pigs, turkeys, quail, and FeLV+ cats. Your monthly gift provides steady, predictable funding for food, medical care, shelter, and enrichment. By joining, you become part of a compassionate community committed to practicing nonviolence through ongoing support for animals in need.

Why are monthly gifts so important for the animals? +

Monthly donations provide reliable, consistent funding that allows us to plan ahead and respond quickly to emergencies. Animals need food, shelter, and medical care every single day, not just when donations happen to come in. Your steady support means we can say yes to rescue opportunities, stock up on seasonal supplies, and ensure every resident receives the compassionate care they deserve year-round.

How much should I give each month? +

Every amount makes a real difference. As little as $10 a month helps provide daily feed for our rescued chickens, while $25 can support enrichment and comfort items for our FeLV+ cats. Larger gifts of $50 or more help cover veterinary care and emergency medical needs. Choose an amount that feels meaningful and sustainable for you—what matters most is your consistent compassion.

Can I change, pause, or cancel my monthly donation? +

Absolutely. You have complete control over your monthly gift and can adjust the amount, pause, or cancel at any time with no questions asked. Simply contact us by email or phone, and we'll make the changes immediately. We understand that circumstances change, and we're grateful for your support for whatever time you're able to give.

How will my monthly gift be used specifically? +

Your monthly donation directly funds the daily needs of our residents: nutritious food, clean bedding, warm shelter in winter, shade in summer, veterinary care, medications, and enrichment activities that support natural behaviors. It also helps us rescue animals in urgent need and provide adoptable cats with medical care before they find their forever homes. Every dollar goes toward creating safe, compassionate care for animals rescued from abuse, neglect, and abandonment.

Is my monthly donation tax-deductible? +

Yes. Ahimsa Safe Haven is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your monthly donations are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You'll receive documentation of your contributions for tax purposes. We recommend consulting with a tax professional for specific guidance on your individual situation.

Will I receive a tax receipt, and how? +

You'll receive an annual giving statement summarizing all your monthly donations from the previous calendar year, typically sent in January. If you need receipts more frequently or require documentation at any time, just let us know and we'll provide them promptly. All receipts can be sent via email or postal mail, based on your preference.

What payment methods do you accept for monthly donations? +

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) and debit cards for monthly recurring donations through our secure Donorbox platform. You can also set up monthly gifts through PayPal or bank transfers (ACH) if you prefer. All transactions are processed securely with industry-standard encryption.

Is my online donation information secure? +

Yes, absolutely. We use Donorbox, a trusted donation platform with industry-standard encryption and secure payment processing to protect your personal and financial information. Your credit card details are never stored on our servers and are transmitted directly to Donorbox's secure payment processor. We take your privacy and security very seriously.

Can I dedicate my monthly gift in honor or memory of someone? +

Yes, we'd be honored to help you create a meaningful tribute. You can dedicate your monthly gift in honor or memory of a loved one, a cherished pet, or anyone special to you. Simply let us know the dedication details when you sign up, and we can send an acknowledgment to the person or family you're honoring if you'd like.

Do monthly donors receive updates or special communications? +

Yes. As a Kindness Circle member, you'll receive regular updates about the animals you're helping, including stories, photos, and news from the sanctuary. We also send occasional special updates about rescue stories, veterinary successes, and the direct impact of your ongoing support. You can choose how often you'd like to hear from us.

What if my card expires or a payment is declined? +

We'll send you a friendly reminder by email if a payment doesn't go through or if your card is about to expire. You can easily update your payment information online or by contacting us directly. We understand these things happen and will work with you to keep your monthly support active.

Can my employer match my monthly gift? +

Many employers offer matching gift programs that can double or even triple your impact. Check with your human resources department to see if your company participates in a matching program. We're happy to provide any documentation your employer needs to process the match for your monthly donations.

How do I update my contact or billing information? +

You can update your information anytime by contacting us directly via email or phone. We'll make the changes to your account right away. If you've moved, changed your email, or need to update your payment method, just reach out and we'll take care of it quickly.

Who can I contact with questions? +

We're here to help. You can reach our team by email at info@ahimasafehaven.org or by phone during business hours. We're always happy to answer questions, provide updates on the animals, or assist with any aspect of your monthly giving. Your support means the world to us and the animals we serve.
