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.
The Refuge currently has approximately 100 donkeys & mules in our care, and we are so grateful for all the support to help us continue our mission to provide a safe and healthy refuge for Donkeys & Mules in need.
With your kind support we can continue to provide a comfortable, safe, and healthy environment for all our long-ear friends. Your donations support the daily operations & care of the Donkeys here at the Refuge including daily cleaning of all paddocks & barns, daily medical care for Senior & high needs Donkeys, hay, feed, supplements, soft shavings & straw bedding for winter, and many other small items that are required for daily care of our herds.
Thank you all for your kind support ❤
