Help the HERD
Make a donation
When you donate, you help us to ensure the long-term survival of elephants, ecosystems, and the communities that protect them.
Your support enables world-class elephant rehabilitation, ethical research, land restoration, and skills development for local women and carers, all rooted in real, measurable impact.
There are several meaningful ways to support HERD’s work, depending on what suits you best. Once-off donations help us respond to immediate needs and urgent priorities, while monthly recurring donations are especially powerful, providing reliable income that helps us plan ahead, care for our elephants consistently, and invest in lasting community and environmental impact.
We offer a range of trusted and secure payment options to make giving easy, wherever you are. Donations can be made via PayPal, PayFast, or Stripe, allowing both South African and international supporters to contribute safely using cards, EFTs, or online wallets.
Donate on GlobalGiving
We have partnered with GlobalGiving in the USA to help donors make safe and easy tax-deductible donations.
During the year, GlobalGiving has several campaigns where your donation to HERD is matched. These include Little by Little, Bonus Day and GivingTuesday campaigns.
