The NZ Cruelty-Free Charities List will be an online listing of health charities* that do not fund or conduct research that involves the use of animal experimentation.

It will be the first reference guide of its kind in New Zealand, and inclusion is free.

Health charities can apply to be added to the NZ Cruelty-Free Charities List by filling in the form below.

*A health charity is a charity that directly addresses human health-related diseases, disorders, and/or conditions.  

You only need to apply once to be included on our Cruelty-Free Charities List. However, if your status changes, you will need to advise us as soon as possible.

By filling in the form below you are signing and agreeing to this declaration:

Declaration

Our organisation does hereby certify that as of this date, it does not conduct, commission, or in any way fund experiments involving non-human animals, as defined below, and will not do so in the future.

Experiments on non-human animals means any research of any sort using, in whole or in part, living or dead animals, including, without limitation, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, insects, nonhuman mammals, or other species, except for the following, which are considered humane and acceptable: (1) naturalistic studies, in which animals are observed, without interference, in their natural setting; or (2) experimental treatments in animals who need them due to clinical illness, without the specific expectation or intention of application to related human diseases, and who are not bred for research purposes.

I agree to NZAVS using our organisation's logo and basic information for promotional purposes. I will provide an appropriate logo following the application submission to nzavs@nzavs.org.nz
