Thank you for your interest in supporting the Nonhuman Rights Project. We are dedicated to using every contribution with the utmost care to achieve maximum impact. To ensure that your generous gift goes as far as possible, weâve outlined several giving options specifically for larger donors. These options help minimize processing fees, allowing your support to make the greatest difference.
For donations of $1,000 or more, we recommend giving online via ACH transfer from your U.S. bank account, as it involves minimal fees and low administrative costs. Our  Major Gift Donation Form allows you to contribute directly from your bank account or make a low-fee credit card payment, ensuring your donation is used efficiently to advance our mission.
ACH (Automated Clearing House)
Donors with US bank accounts can make secure ACH payments via our Major Gift Donation Form. Choose “US Bank Account” as the payment method, and provide the appropriate banking information when prompted.Â
The fees charged to the Nonhuman Rights Project are capped at $5. Because the costs to the NhRP are capped, this is the most cost effective way to make large donations. If you donate $1,000, the NhRP will receive $995.00 There is no additional administrative work for us to process ACH transactions.
Online Credit Card Donations
Please use our Major Gift Donation Form. As with all credit card transactions, the Nonhuman Rights Project is charged a percentage fee on every transaction.
Donate by Check
While checks are always welcome, we encourage you to consider using our Major Gift Donation Form or exploring our other donation options. This helps us reduce administrative tasks and avoid any potential mail delays or fraud. If you prefer to donate by check, there are no processing fees, and weâre happy to accept your contribution at the following address:
611 Pennsylvania Ave SE, #345
Washington, DC, 20003
Donate by Wire Transfer
To help us manage administrative costs, we kindly ask that wire transfers be used for donations of $1,000 or more. If you’re considering a larger gift, this is a great option, and we appreciate your generosity.If you are interested in making a donation via wire transfer, please email us at donations@nonhumanrights.org to get our bank account information and alert us of your gift. Donations made by wire transfer may have fees for the donor. It is our impression that some banks charge a fee for transfers and some do not. We suggest you check with your bank about the fees involved. The Nonhuman Rights Project does not incur fees on wire transfers.
Donate Stocks via DTC
Stocks held at a brokerage account can be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company (DTC) program. You may need to provide your broker with a signed letter of authorization instructing them to deliver the specific number of shares and the stock name to the NhRPâs account at Citi Personal Wealth Management. Please email our Development Director, Jennifer Brunk, jbrunk@nonhumanrights.org to get our account information and let her know about the transfer to enable us to track its arrival at Citi Personal Wealth Management.
The transaction can generally be completed within 24 hours and your charitable tax receipt will be based upon the date that the shares are received in the NhRPâs account.
Donate via a Qualified Charitable Distribution
We are happy to accept donations via Qualified Charitable Distributions from individualsâ accounts. You may need our legal name: Nonhuman Rights Project and our EIN/Tax ID number: 04-3289466.
