Donate now

Thank you for visiting our donation page. When you donate online you will receive an email confirmation message. We are grateful for your generosity and assure you that your donation will be put to good use caring for our donkeys and providing vital support to donkeys in communities around Ireland.

Thousands of donkeys from all parts of Ireland have been rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed since The Donkey Sanctuary Ireland was set up in 1987.  Right now, our welfare team members are working tirelessly in the community offering advice and support to donkey owners to improve donkey welfare in Ireland. 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 means that your donation could be worth an extra €112.32 to us at no extra cost to you. This applies to you if you have made either one-off donations or monthly donations by direct debit or bankers orders.
