A partnership with CARA Welfare Philippines means your organization gets behind one of the most underfunded, overlooked, and genuinely necessary causes in the country: the welfare of animals who cannot speak for themselves.
These animals share our streets, our communities, and our homes, and how we treat them says everything about the kind of society we are. Animal welfare isn't separate from human welfare. It's a reflection of it.
Supporting your programs
Your potential customers, employees, and even investors are now more inclined to lean in and support causes that promote ethical, cruelty-free practices.
Beyond stray population management, CARA has made strides to change the perception of stray cats and dogs - from pests to partners- by sharing how CNVR, a science-based solution for stray population management, directly impacts the quality of life for both humans and animals that inhabit the area.
Beyond improving the living conditions of these strays, animal welfare programs similar to CARA’s initiative also protect the health and safety of Filipinos from the threat of rabies and other related threats.
By supporting CNVR, your organization will directly address a community health issue which impacts public safety, disease prevention, quality of life, and morale in shared urban spaces. Partnering with CARA aligns with environmental stewardship and social equity dimensions of ESG. It signals a company culture that values compassion, and can be a brand differentiator that resonates with your customers and talents alike.
United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals
CARA Welfare Philippines advances your company's alignment with the UN 2030 Agenda, with focus on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all (SDG3), making cities and human settlements safe and sustainable (SDG11), and promoting humane education for all (SDG4).
CARA's work for over two decades has focused on promoting and implementing mass neutering and vaccination while keeping its services low cost and accessible for all communities. Doing so directly lowers rabies contamination, a public health risk that although avoidable, is still prevalent.
Our barangay-level CNVR programs including the learning sessions we offer promote awareness and humane, sustainable action, making urban spaces safer for both humans and strays alike.
Since the 2000s, CARA has been promoting humane education campaigns in schools, private communities, and barangays. Each session focuses on building empathy, responsibility, and civic values for its learners today, and for the next generation. CSR-funded school and barangay-level programs scale this reach across Metro Manila.
Making your donations work for you
CARA Welfare Philippines is a PCNC accredited non-profit organization.
This means your contribution doesn't just help the communities we serve, it also works in your favor as you close your books. CARA can issue a Certificate of Donation for donations received, which you can use to claim tax deductibility.
When you give to CARA, you give knowing that an independent body has verified our integrity, our systems, and our commitment to the animals and people we serve.
Donations made to CARA are:
"Integrating animal welfare in the CSR portfolios of companies is not just a charitable act — it is a strategic business decision. It strengthens brand trust, elevates corporate responsibility, and contributes to the well-being of both people and the animals we share our world with."
A single, purposeful activity with any of the following engagements:
- A speakership session at your office or event (eg. volunteer day) about Animal Rights and CNVR
- A volunteer day at the CARA Cattery or CARA House for Dogs / KAHU House for your team (up to 20 pax)
- Donation drop off at any of CARA’s sites
This is a great entry point that delivers immediate impact for your organization and its participants.
It immediately provides your employees / stakeholders the knowledge, or the hands on experience to spark their interest.
Based on your organization’s KPIs, this can be a scheduled quarterly or semi-annually which combines educational activities, hands-on volunteer work, matched with actionable, sustainable campaigns for in-kind donations, adoptions, and financial support.
This is ideal for teams who are looking to preplan and embed a purposeful advocacy-based activity into the company calendar.
Beyond E-Sat, a values-aligned CSR program is increasingly a factor in talent acquisition.
A partnership with CARA shows that your organization's commitment to community is not just performative.
