Write to specific charities if you are unsure of their policies or make donations stating that they be used for non-animal research only, giving reasons.

Withhold donations from charities promoting “humane research” to find “alternatives” to animal experiments as animal cell cultures are used and the “alternatives” are required to be validated against animal tests, which have never been validated in the first place! Question fund-raisers about the charity’s use of animals for research and use as an opportunity to inform them of the facts.
