Fundraising & Funding
As a registered and approved animal rescue charity, Offaly Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is managed and run entirely by volunteers. Offaly SPCA is reliant on funds from a number of sources to fund neutering and microchipping campaigns, and to provide help for sick, injured or suffering animals.
Funding sources include:
*Donations from the public
*Fundraising initiatives
*An applied for animal welfare grant from the Department of Agiculture, Food & the Marine. (DAFM)
All funds and funding are used for animals and their welfare.
Donations from the public are made through Pay Pal, Facebook, Direct Debits, Church Gate collections and general donations. Fundraising events include raffles, table quizzes, coffee mornings, School fundraisers, animal food collection boxes and donated items for sale in our “Corner Closet” space at our office in Tullamore.
The Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine’s applied for grant for use in 2024 awarded Ospca a greatly appreciated grant of €42,425. Offaly County Council awarded OSPCA a very welcome “once off” grant of €1500 from their "Community Support Fund" to purchase additional trap cages, holding cages & equipment for use with TNR of feral cats in Offaly.
All funding is greatly appreciated and carefully and wisely used to support, prevent suffering, and improve the lives of as many animals as possible in Co.Offaly.
