The DSPCA relies on generous donations from the public and companies who support and value the work we do in the community for animals. We are not a government funded charity and receive only 10% of our annual budget of nearly €3 million in ex-gratia payments from the government. 90% of our funding comes from our monthly supporters, donations, fundraising, and income from our commercial business’s. Your contribution will benefit the thousands of injured, neglected or abandoned animals we care for at the DSPCA each year.

Charity of the Year
Choosing the DSPCA as your charity of the year is a great way for your company to engage staff, clients and board members to come together for one common goal. When a company chooses a charity to work with, you want the partnership to be something that your workforce and community of customers are excited about contributing to and supporting.
Matched Giving
Matched Giving is when your company matches the amount of fundraising an employee does for a chosen charity. The fundraising of the individual, or a group of individuals is matched from the company’s own resources.
Matched giving schemes often see at least a double return for your fundraising efforts and are often used in combination with payroll giving schemes.
If you are an employee, you may not be aware that your company has a matched giving policy so always ask!
