Donate

Thank-you for your donation to our work and vision.  Your donations go to The Billie Dean International Deep Peace Organisation, which includes our animal welfare education and the arts arm, the fundraising for our expanded vision of  Place of Peace Sanctuaries and the Rainbow Fianna Education Centre, as well as A Place of Peace, our current forever home sanctuary for previously homeless animals including more than 40 horses (28 of them wild brumbies) who run free here.   We are very very grateful for your support, and the animals say a huge “thank-you”.   Under current tax laws, forever home animals do not fall under a tax benefit scheme, so your donations are not tax deductible.  However, we are committed to these and animals and our work, and we appreciate your support.

Donations can be made using your bank’s online software, PayPal or Paymate.

 

How Donations Help A Place of Peace

Some of the ways your donations help:

• $2 feeds a horse a biscuit of hay.
• $5 buys a day’s supplements for high-need ponies and dogs.
• $15 goes towards supplements for seniors in need.
• $45 pays for a horse’s hoof trim.
• $50 is 5/8 of the cost of an annual dental treatment for a horse.
• $50 is 2/3 the cost of a 500 ml bottle of herbal worming, used for both dogs and horses.
• $100 is roughly the full cost of caring for a horse per month (averaged over a year)

We are grateful for your help and support as we provide a forever home for these animals.

Using Your Bank’s Online Software

In Australia, if you have online access to your bank account, then you can set up a recurring payment using the online software your bank provides. This is really the best way to go, as it involves the least hassle and the fewest fees (especially when compared to Paypal and Paymate). Simply make a payment to the Sanctuary’s account (contact me for the details), and set it to recur. We can talk you through it on the phone, if you need a hand.

Paymate

Alternatively, you can use the Paymate Express Payment button below.  We provide this option, because some people prefer not to use Paypal.  It is a safe alternative, but has the disadvantage of charging more in fees.

If you click the above button, you go to a screen that looks something like this:

Here are the steps for using Paymate:

1. Click the Paymate button above to go to the Paymate Express Payment screen.

2. In the Your Details section, enter your email, name and address as requested.  If you are a registered Paymate user, you can tick the box and have it use your stored details.
3. In the Payment Method section, enter your credit card details.
4. In the Payment Details section, enter the amount you want to donate.  If you wish to change the currency, you can, but it is probably better to leave it AUD for Australian dollars.
5. Below the amount, there is Payment Frequency. If you want this to be a one-off, payment, leave it as One-Off Payment.  If you want to donate regularly, choose Recurring Payment Reminder.  If you choose the latter, Paymate will send you a reminder email at the frequency you specify.  Note that they do not automatically process recurring payments.  Instead, you have to enter your details and approve the transaction each time (your bank or Paypal, on the other hand, will do it automatically for you).
6. Tick the box in the Terms and Conditions section.
7. Click Submit Payment.

Many, many thanks for your support!
