Donate
Your donations to Vets Beyond Borders directly support us to continue to improve animal and public health in developing communities.
When making a tax deductible donation you will be directed to the Australian Foundation for the Peoples of Asia and the Pacific (AFAP) donation page. Please make sure that you select Vets Beyond Borders from the drop-down menu before proceeding with your donation payment. As a community partner with AFAP*, VBB is able to offer tax deductibility for donations in Australia of $2.00 and over. All donations are processed in Australian dollars.
When making a non-tax deductible donation to VBB you will be directed to make a secure online credit card payment using Paypal. Non-tax deductible donations can also be made to VBB by cheque or money order. Please make cheques and money orders payable to Vets Beyond Borders and post to VBB. Non-tax deductible donations go directly to VBB.
Vets Beyond Borders receives no funding from the Australian Government and is reliant on funds raised from donations, grants and sponsorship.

Donated Items
From time to time veterinary clinics and companies as well as individuals offer to donate veterinary supplies and textbooks to VBB. We really appreciate these offers. If you have some items you would like to donate please send us a list of these items and where they are located using the Contact us form.
Please understand however that often the difficulty for us when accepting donated items is the cost of getting these donated items to our projects which are generally overseas - freight or postage charges, as well as custom duty, can be expensive especially for heavy items. Also we are a small, mostly volunteer run organisation and do not have storage facilities. As a consequence we may not be able to accept some items. If you can assist with the costs or organise the freight or postage of your donated item/s to the projects that would be most appreciated.
* Donations are tax deductible in Australia through our association with AFAP.
AFAP and Vets Beyond Borders are working jointly to deliver aid to communities overseas. AFAP closely monitors the work of Vets Beyond Borders to ensure the delivery of relief and development programs in India in terms of project outcomes. AFAP allows Vets Beyond Borders to use donated funds or donations in kind only for benevolent activities undertaken by Vets Beyond Borders. Vets Beyond Borders do not have Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status in our own right and are relying on AFAP’s DGR endorsed status by the Australian Tax Office. AFAP retains the ultimate discretion whether to distribute any funds in accordance with the preference expressed by the donor. AFAP charge VBB a 6% fee on donations for adminstration.
