Levels of Support

While every member of PETA’s Vanguard Society is at the forefront of our vital efforts for animals, many generous donors have committed to making substantial financial contributions to our work.

For these donors, their gift to PETA is an investment in making the world a better place for all animals. And as with other financial investments, we strive to ensure that each Vanguard Society donor is aware of how their donation is directly helping animals.

Your secure gift today can provide you with the following benefits.

If you’d like to learn more about levels of support available to PETA Vanguard Society members, please let us know!

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
