Every financial gift helps, and the elephants are grateful for every donation, no matter the size. Please give what you can.

Donating from the USA

STEF is proud to be able to accept tax-deductible donations from American donors in partnership with CAF America as a validated organization. As a U.S. public charity, CAF America is able to accept funds from U.S. donors who can then recommend that CAF America use those funds to support foreign charitable organizations like Southern Thailand Elephant Foundation.

If you would like to make an online donation, please download the gift form, fill in your details, payment method, and enter Southern Thailand Elephant Foundation – UKCC No: 1176322 as the charitable organization’s name. You can also download the information and guidance notes.

It would also be helpful to hear from you that you have done/or intend to do this, so we can look out for your gift and make sure you are thanked appropriately. Please get in touch with info@southernthailandelephants.org for assistance or any other information.

Gift Aid – Gift Aid is an easy way to maximise your fundraising by claiming an extra 25p per £1 given from HMRC and can be collected automatically through JustGiving. However, there are some strict rules – Gift Aid cannot be claimed on ticket sales, raffle tickets, winning auctions bids or anything other than an individual donation. Also, it cannot be claimed on behalf of a group or as part of a collection. If you are planning a fundraising event and are unsure if you should include Gift Aid, contact us on info@southernthailandelephants.org and we can advise.

 

We have a fantastic volunteer opportunity to work with elephants in Thailand. This is through our sister charity STEF Thailand’s Veterinary Programme.
