Donate in memory

Give a SPANA gift in memory of a special person or pet

At a time of loss, people often draw comfort from commemorating the life of a special person or pet by donating in their memory.

Donate in Memory of Someone Special

A donation to SPANA in memory of a loved one will ensure that their name will live on in happy, healthy working animals around the world. Your donation ensures that we can continue to provide veterinary care, education and support for not only working animals but the communities that depend on them as well.

Donate in Memory of A Beloved Pet

For many of us, animals are part of the family. Our pets receive all of the love, care and attention that they could ever want, and there’s always a vet on hand should they fall ill. Sadly not all animals are so lucky and due to poverty and lack of education, SPANA finds many animals in desperate need around the world. A gift to SPANA in memory of your pet will honour their life in a very special way – by helping those animals which are less fortunate around the world.

If you send us your pet’s name and an optional photo, we will include them on our online pet memorial wall.

Donations in Lieu of Flowers

Events in Memory

Many people chose to remember a friend or family member by doing something active or participating in an activity that they loved. We welcome fundraising events in memory including sponsored marathons, sports, swimming, bake sales – anything that you feel honours the passions of that special individual you want to remember through supporting SPANA.

A Lasting Memorial

As a way of SPANA saying thank you for gifts in memory, we’d like to create a lasting record to commemorate your loved one’s life. For tributes of $250 or more, your loved one’s name will be recorded with a plaque on our memorial wall, in the beautiful gardens of our centre in Marrakech.
