A better world for donkeys
The Donkey Sanctuary’s mission is to transform the quality of life for donkeys, mules and people worldwide through greater understanding, collaboration and support, and by promoting lasting, mutually life-enhancing relationships.
Vision, mission and impact
Our vision
A world where every donkey has a good quality of life.
Our mission
Improving the lives of donkeys every day.
Our impact
We make a better world for donkeys.
Driven by our values
Our values guide how we treat others and make our decisions.
Compassion
We help donkeys, and the people who rely on them for their livelihoods, to cope with physical, mental and emotional challenges.
Collaboration
We treat every interaction as a two-way opportunity to learn. Together, we can all become donkey welfare ambassadors.
Creativity
The need for our work is enormous but our resources are finite. This means that we must exercise creativity to fulfil our mission.
Committed to transparency and accountability
At The Donkey Sanctuary Ireland, we believe in total transparency and accountability. We are committed to openly sharing how we spend our money to make a positive impact.
Our Trustee’s Annual Report and Accounts provide detailed insights into our funding sources, expenditures, and the programs they support. By making this information accessible, we ensure that our donors, supporters and partners can trust that their contributions make a real difference to donkeys.
