Every act of kindness makes a difference.
Create a better world for donkeys.
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 make every donkey rescue and story of transformation possible. Plus, you’ll get exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and invitations to Guardians-only virtual events to see your impact in action.
-
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.
-
Create Your Legacy
Be remembered as an animal hero and give a gift that keeps on giving. Planned gifts provide financial and tax benefits while ensuring that donkeys who have suffered will always have a safe place to heal. Leave a gift for Oscar’s Place in your will, trust, or beneficiary designation.
-
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.
-
Give from a Donor-Advised Fund
You can recommend grants directly from your Donor Advised Fund to Oscar’s Place to help provide loving care for donkeys who have endured abuse, neglect, or trauma. Take advantage of tax benefits while creating a better world for donkeys.
-
Donate Stocks, Bonds, or Mutual Funds
Make a lasting impact by electronically transferring appreciated securities including stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. It’s a tax-smart way to help rescued donkeys heal. You’ll pay no capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the market value of your gift.

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.
-
Support a Capital Campaign
Help expand our facilities, improve pastures, build barns, lay fencing, and purchase farm equipment. Your gift will help build the future of Oscar’s Place and make a difference for hundreds of donkeys in need to come.
