Sponsor A Donkey

"Sponsor a donkey" is an ideal gift for someone who has everything. Maybe sponsor a donkey for your school, office or group. Or just for yourself to show your support for the donkeys.

For just £15 per year you can help towards vital veterinary treatment, farrier services, equine dentist, rescue missions, feed and shelters for the donkeys. Many have never experienced human friendship or love, and your money can help us show them that the world is not one big nasty place.

In return you will recieve a personalised certificate, a colour photograph and the story to date of your chosen donkey. We love donkey's -  Why not show them that you do too.

Corporate Sponsors are always very welcome, and in return for your goodwill not only do businesses get a corporate certificate they are also recognised on our Corporate Sponsors page. So please business owners help our donkeys and in return we will help promote the goodwill of your business.

Sponsorship can be made by Cheque or via Credit Card using PayPal's Secure Service. Simply select one of our donkey's below and choose the option that suits up best.
