The Philippine Animal Welfare Society is a not-for-profit volunteer organization that relies on the funds generated through fund-raising events, merchandise sales and donations. Your donations, be they cash or in-kind, go a long way towards helping the group perform its mandate of fighting for the welfare and humane treatment of animals. This post summarizes the different ways you can get your donations to PAWS.

Cash Donations

The digital methods - For the internet savvy donors that would like to donate cash without leaving their seats, these currently are your options:

• Paypal - One of the biggest online payment systems currently available which is quite convenient to use. You can literally send your donations with just a few clicks of your mouse. For residents of the Philippines, donations sent through Paypal can be funded by charging it to your credit or debit cards. I'm not clear on how it works for residents of other countries like the U.S. or Canada but it should be more or less similar (if anybody knows please feel free to explain. Thanks!).

• MyAyala - This is a virtual shopping mall brought to us by subsidiaries of the Ayala Corporation. It carries a wide range of products which can be purchased with ease. They also accept PAWS donations through credit or debit cards.

• BPIExpressOnline - This is the online banking facility of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI). BPI savings/checking account holders are all eligible for Express Online access which basically is just your online access to your BPI accounts. You can pay bills, open new accounts, load your Globe cellphones, transfer funds to other BPI accounts, etc.
  
  You can donate to PAWS via their funds transfer function but you will need to add the PAWS BPI account to your third-party accounts list before you can do so. The cool thing about their funds transfer feature is that, besides the one-time funds transfer option, you can set it to automatically send money at regular time intervals. You can send in any fixed amount, say, on a monthly basis! And it's free, too! You wont get slapped with any of those interbranch fees that you normally get slapped with when you deposit through a branch outside of Metro Manila or Greater Manila Area.
  
  There are 2 methods of enrolling third-party accounts to your Express Online. You can 1) print, sign and then snail mail the enrollment form to BPI or 2) you can print, sign and then bring the form to your account branch. I recommend the second method because the third party account gets added to your list on the next day after you visit your branch to submit the form!


You may add the following account to your third-party accounts:
BPI Account Name: The Philippine Animal Welfare Society
PHP Account No.: 3943-0086-11
Go to BPIExpressOnline

The analog methods - For those who like to get out there and take that nice walk to the bank or that trip to the shelter:

• Bank deposits and wire transfers - This is pretty self-explanatory and perhaps is best for those who don't like going online to deal with money matters. Below are the PAWS bank account details.


Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI)
Account Name: The Philippine Animal Welfare Society
USD Account No.: 3944-0021-61
PHP Account No.: 3943-0086-11
SWIFT No.: BOPIPHMM

Philippine National Bank (PNB)
Account Name: The Philippine Animal Welfare Society
PHP Account No.: 072-830174-0
SWIFT No.: PNBM PHMM

• Cash & Checks - I believe this method is still the preferred choice as PAWS likes to personally meet their donors. If you visit the shelter to give your donation personally, they'll be able to show you around to see how your donations are being put to good use. Please make checks payable to "The Philippine Animal Welfare Society".
