Donate now

Thank you for visiting our donation page. When you donate online you will receive an email confirmation message. Please note it’s not possible for us to send out postal receipts during the Covid-19 crisis. We are grateful for your generosity and assure you that your donation will be put to good use caring for our donkeys.

The Donkey Sanctuary exists to protect donkeys from cruelty and neglect and to provide homes for those that are in need of protective care and those that can no longer be cared for by their owners. Over 5,600 donkeys from all parts of Ireland have been taken into our care here in Ireland since The Donkey Sanctuary in Ireland was set up.

Suitable, fit donkeys may be found homes through our rehoming scheme and those needing more intensive care and ongoing veterinary treatment become permanent residence.

Every donation, whatever the amount, is most gratefully received.

Donations received within Ireland are used entirely to fund the work of The Donkey Sanctuary within Ireland.

Tax Efficient Giving

This applies to you if you have made either one-off donations or monthly donations by direct debit or bankers orders.
