Common questions about Fauna & Flora International's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Fauna & Flora International a good charity? +
Fauna & Flora International scores 79 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 91% of its spending goes to charitable activities (3-yr avg) and its accounts are up to date. That reflects how transparent and financially healthy it looks on paper — it does not measure the real-world impact of its work, so treat it as one factor alongside the cause you care about. CharityCompare never tells you where to donate.
Is Fauna & Flora International a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Fauna & Flora International as a registered charity (charity number 1011102). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1011102&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money. Registration does not verify a particular appeal; Clarity Score summarises filing transparency, not programme impact.
What is Fauna & Flora International's charity number? +

What is Fauna & Flora International's charity rating? +

The Clarity Score (method v1.1) sums four pillars from UK regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 pts), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10). Stars use the same bands as those labels — 90+ is 5★ Exceptional. It is not an impact ranking.
Does Fauna & Flora International have reviews and complaints? +

How much of my donation reaches Fauna & Flora International? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 91% of Fauna & Flora International's total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).
