BIG NEWS FROM THE REFUGE!
We’re over the moon to share that — thanks to YOU, our amazing supporters — we reached our $120,000 Spring Donkey Care & Comfort Fund goal with help from a generous $50,000 match from Sakura’s Hope Foundation!

But that’s not all… another incredibly kind donor has been so inspired by your generosity that they’ve stepped up to match an additional $49,000 in donations between now and September 7th! That means every dollar you give will go twice as far in caring for our beloved long-eared friends.

And the best news of all…we only need another $15,000 to meet our second match! Huge thank you to everyone who has donated towards either our original match or our secondary match already – it truly means the world to us that you show up consistently and selflessly for the Donkeys & Mules in our Care. With your help, we are hopeful we will make our secondary match by September 7th!

We are getting very close to meeting our secondary match goal!  Just $15,000 to go as of the end of July, and we will be able to say we have raised nearly 30% of the annual care budget for the Refuge through these wonderful matching funds!  If you’re ready to double your donation, donate today

Donation for the Donkeys – Giving Where It’s Needed

While many of our donors donate to our specific programs such as the Buy-A-Bale, Sponsorship, or BrayVe Hearts, others prefer to give a non-specific donation for us to use “Wherever It Is Needed Most”.

Donations for the Donkeys can be given on an annual basis or at special times during the year.  Some of these donations come from supporters who have a specific wish for the use of their donated dollars.  We are happy to gratefully accept all donations and we will try our very best to honour our donor’s wish provided it supports our mission, values and overall goal for the Refuge and its resident donkeys.

Our online donation page is the best way to donate.  It is secure & safe and the donation is made available for our use to help the donkeys the day after you donate.  You will receive a donation tax receipt immediately via email unless you have opted to receive an annual receipt.  In this case, your online donation will be included in the year-end total.

(Please Note: If you are an existing or annual receipt donor, you will need to “login” using your email address to add your donation to your current file.)

Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society is a Registered Canadian Charity (#822309001RR0001)

If you are having any issues with your donation or tax receipt – please check our Administration Notes for Donations
