Primary Exempt PurposeAnimal-Kind International supports animal welfare organizations in poor countries, primarily in Africa, secondarily in Latin America/Caribbean, and in Armenia. We raise money for them and raise visibility of their work. We track their use of AKI funds so we can provide this information to our supporters. We support our Partner Organizations through ongoing disbursements. Additionally, we administer an annual Africa-Based Animal Welfare Organization Grant Program. We also provide technical and administrative assistance to our partners and grantees, such as editing their reports and websites, advice on promoting their organizations on social media and through crowdfunding, and technical advice about running shelters, rescues, and implementing other animal welfare activities.PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt
