What is the Shelter Bonus Fund?
The Shelter Bonus Fund creates an additional route for financial support to animal-welfare organisations. It receives 5% of donation and adoption payments processed through Aniluba.
Aniluba also allocates 5% of its profit from other revenue streams, such as subscriptions, books, digital products, merchandise and additional services, to the fund. That allocation comes from profit, not gross sales, revenue or each payment.
As the fund becomes operational, eligibility, allocation criteria and distribution information need to be published so organisations and supporters can understand how it works.
Organisational funds and Aniluba revenue are different
Money processed for animal-welfare organisations belongs in a different reporting category from Aniluba’s own revenue. The 85% organisational allocation, Aniluba’s 10% share and the Shelter Bonus Fund’s 5% share serve distinct purposes and are reported distinctly.
Other revenue streams are Aniluba revenue. The additional Shelter Bonus Fund commitment is 5% of the profit from those streams. Supporting Aniluba itself contributes to the platform; donating to an animal-welfare organisation supports that organisation.
Clear details before payment
The 85% / 10% / 5% split makes the donation and adoption allocation understandable. Separate services have their own terms: real-adoption transport is paid directly to the transporter outside Aniluba, and any optional expedited payout charges or other payment-specific charges need to be shown before a transaction is completed.
The interactive platform is currently being built. Its transaction interfaces must present applicable charges and terms before payment; this informational website does not collect payments.
Organisation-level verification
Aniluba makes legitimate organisations easier to recognise through organisation-level verification, clear profiles and visible information. Verification forms part of the safeguards for access to the relevant platform features.
Verification applies to the organisation, rather than giving personal badges to ordinary staff or supporters. It supports informed decisions alongside an adopter’s questions, independent checks and applicable legal requirements; it cannot guarantee every aspect of an organisation’s conduct.
Animal welfare sets the minimum
Species and individual needs shape every appropriate pathway. Aniluba sets minimum safeguards that organisations can strengthen for an animal but cannot reduce. Animals unsuitable for private ownership are not eligible for private adoption, including Specialist Adoption.
Organisation Transfer is separate from adoption. It requires a suitable, eligible receiving organisation and compliance with applicable licensing and legal requirements.
Public reporting that people can understand
Aniluba’s commitment to voluntary public reporting makes the flow of money easier to follow as operations develop. Reporting distinguishes organisational money processed, Aniluba revenue and the Shelter Bonus Fund’s receipts and distributions.
Reports need to explain the period, definitions and context behind the figures. Financial results and fund distributions become reportable as operations generate them.
Responsible information
Aniluba Knowledge makes sources visible and recognises regional differences. Practical information helps people ask better questions and choose appropriate care; individual health concerns still call for veterinary assessment, and wildlife care often requires authorised specialist help.
