Donkey Care & Comfort Matching Fund - Spring/Summer 2025
2025 Matching Fund Success 🎉
In Summer 2025, we celebrated an incredible milestone at the Refuge — our $49,000 Secondary Matching Fund Goal for Donkey Care & Comfort was met thanks to the generosity of Carmina G. & Terry R. and the overwhelming support of our donor community. 💛 With Carmina & Terry’s matching gift, a total of $98,000 was raised through this campaign alone to ensure the Donkeys continue receiving the care and comfort they deserve. Earlier in the year, our Spring Match supported by Sakura’s Hope Foundation also inspired our community to give generously. Together, these two Matching Funds raised an amazing 30% of the Refuge’s annual operating budget — $218,000! We are so grateful to Carmina & Terry, Sakura’s Hope Foundation, and every donor who contributed. Your kindness truly makes all the difference for the Donkeys & Mules who call the Refuge home. 🫏💚 ~ Donations for Donkey Care are always gratefully accepted ~ Online ~ https://turtlevalleydonkeyrefuge.com/donate/ E-transfer ~ donkeyrefuge@gmail.com By phone ~ Call us at 250.679.2778 Thank you all for your kind support ❤
