Every act of kindness makes a difference.
Ways to Give
There are many ways to help donkeys who have suffered to heal and thrive. However you choose to give, you’ll be part of the critical work that changes their lives every single day.
-

Become a Guardian
Donate monthly and join our closest circle of supporters. You'll help cover the food, medicine, and shelter every rescued donkey needs to thrive. Plus, you'll receive quarterly video updates on the donkey of your choosing, insider emails, and invitations to Guardians-only Zoom events to see your impact in action.
-

Create Your Legacy
Protect them. Forever. That is what a planned gift does. Donkeys who have suffered get a permanent place to heal, and you get real financial and tax benefits along the way. Leave a gift for Oscar's Place in your will, trust, or beneficiary designation.
-

Give from a Donor-Advised Fund
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used, and notifies Oscar’s Place of your intentions. Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
-

Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income. For those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it. By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
-

Sponsor a Donkey
Connect with one donkey in a personal way. Give any amount each month to become a Guardian and help cover the cost of one donkey’s food, shelter, medicine, and care. Choose from our permanent resident donkeys, get a printable certificate, and follow their journey.
-

Name a Donkey
Donors who give $1,000 or more get the opportunity to name one of our new rescues or babies (born to mothers who arrive at the ranch pregnant). Pick your name of choice and get a photo of the donkey you’ve helped welcome home.
-

Donate in Honor of a Loved One
Celebrate a loved one or pet with a gift to Oscar's Place in their name. Donations make a great alternative to traditional birthday, anniversary, wedding, holiday, or remembrance gifts. Click “Dedicate this donation” on our form and follow the prompts.
-

Donate Stocks, Bonds, or Mutual Funds
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information to notify Oscar’s Place of your gift.
-

Shop our Amazon Wishlist
Want to give something tangible? Browse our Amazon Wishlist to send supplies, treats, or equipment to Oscar’s Place. Choose something for the donkeys to enjoy, or select an item that will help our ranch and sanctuary run smoothly.
-

Volunteer at Oscar's Place
Give your time and heart to the donkeys in our care. Sign up for regular volunteer shifts to be a part of each donkey’s healing and recovery. You’ll spend time grooming, petting, hugging, and loving our donkeys to show them that humans can be trusted.
-

Fund a Wish
Our wish list is where we dare to dream about larger projects and essential items that would directly improve the daily lives of our donkeys. Get in touch to ask about the current wish list needs right now. Fund something long-lasting for the donkeys who call our ranch home.
-

Donate Cryptocurrency
We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies. This gives you one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.
