Leave a lasting legacy

Donkeys standing in front of gate

You have loved donkeys all your life. With a legacy to The Donkey Sanctuary Ireland your love will live forever and help to secure the future of our vital work.

Donkeys in distress need our help. And in 20, 30 or 40 years' time, it’s likely they’ll still need our help. Harshly treated donkeys, abandoned donkeys, wretched donkeys. They all need help.

Leaving a gift in your Will is a way of showing you care and want to help, and after showing you care for your family and friends and want to give them a helping hand, consider helping the donkeys by leaving a lasting gift in your will.

It doesn’t have to be a large sum to make a difference.

Types of legacy

  1. Residuary Bequest - You make provisions for your loved ones first and then leave the remainder or a percentage of your estate to the donkey Sanctuary.
  2. Pecuniary Bequest - You state in your Will that you are leaving a specific sum of money or a particular item to The Donkey Sanctuary Ireland.

There is currently no payment of inheritance tax when leaving a bequest to charity which means that leaving a legacy to The Donkey Sanctuary Ireland is a tax-efficient way of donating.

For advice on how to make a Will, contact you solicitor.
