## Choose DierenDonatie if

> Dutch animal shelters, wildlife-care centres, and animal-welfare foundations that need specific goods funded - food, equipment, or veterinary care - and value a CBF-accredited, transparent donation platform.

- Exclusively focused on animal-welfare causes in the Netherlands
- Recognised as one of the first CBF-accredited donation platforms (CBF-Erkend Donatieplatform)
- Product-fulfilment model: donors fund specific items the platform buys and ships to the foundation
- Flat per-project contribution (EUR 10 up to EUR 300, EUR 25 above) rather than a percentage cut of donations

- Handles both monetary (Geldspenden) and in-kind (Sachspenden) donations, the latter via SocialBay's eBay-based resale.
- Charities are vetted and activated only after a review, supporting donor trust.
