Ways to Give

There are so many beautiful ways to show compassion. Choose the one that speaks to your heart.

Monthly Giving — Kindness Circle

Our Kindness Circle is the heartbeat of Ahimsa. Your steady support means warm meals, fresh bedding, and the promise that tomorrow will be safe. It’s the most powerful way to stand by our residents every single day.

Sponsor a Resident

Sponsorship is a way to say, “I see you and you matter.” By choosing a resident to sponsor, you become part of their story—helping cover their daily care while receiving updates and photos to keep your heart connected to theirs.

One-Time Gift

A single gift can help us meet urgent needs, provide medical care, and keep every resident safe and comfortable.

In-Kind & Wishlists

Sometimes the greatest help comes in the form of hay bales, grain bags, or enrichment toys. Sending an item from our wishlist brings comfort and joy straight into our barns and coops.

Corporate & Group Support

When businesses and groups stand with Ahimsa, the impact multiplies. Together we can create meaningful volunteer days, sponsorships, and partnerships that change lives and inspire communities.

Estate & Legacy Giving

Including Ahimsa in your will, trust, or as a beneficiary is a gift of forever. It ensures that even after your lifetime, compassion will continue to shelter and heal those who need it most.

Resident Spotlight

Benji’s story is one of second chances. This sweet Guinea Hog was once standing in an auction pen, his future uncertain. The moment we met him, we knew he belonged here at Ahimsa.

Today, Benji’s days are filled with sunshine, soft hay, and the joy of being safe. He absolutely lights up when he hears his name—especially if there’s the promise of snacks.

Benji is curious, playful, and endlessly endearing. Every time we watch him root around in the pasture or settle in for a nap, We're reminded of why we do this work: because every animal deserves a life where they are safe, seen, and loved.
