Corfu has a wide variety of charities. Some of them are listed at the bottom of each page on the website. There are charities out there pushing for culture, as well as charities that support people or animals in need. This page will list a few of the most active ones. Every donation is greatly appreciated.
The Corfiot Union For Rescuing Animals
Adopting a friend for life is one of the best things you can do. But at the same time, you can also donate your time or perhaps funds for the volunteers keeping unlucky animals happy and ready for adoption. If you are looking for a new best friend, check out the official website.
The animal shelter in Corfu is available on social media as well. There is also a link for donations over the website.
Corfu Donkey Rescue
Corfu Donkey Rescue is both a tourist attraction and a charity. The charity aims to save injured donkeys, rescue mistreated animals and provide a better life. It is an amazing place to visit, with or without children. You can make donations in person or over the official website. There are more ways to do it.
Should you visit it in person, you will be able to see how donkeys are treated, but also interact with them and spend some quality time.
The Smile Of The Child
The Smile of the Child was originally created to help children from families struggling with domestic violence. With time, its mission has evolved, meaning the charity also helps missing people, those requiring medical attention or even children living in poverty.
You can always make donations or help out over the official website. There is also a shop if you are looking for some gifts.
Corfu Animal Rescue Establishment
Often referred to as CARE, this charity aims to help dogs and other animals on the island. It also runs a small shelter near Sidari. Those who care can foster dogs, volunteer on site or adopt a dog. If you cannot do any of these, a donation can be just as useful.
Those interested in helping unfortunate dogs can make donations through the official website.
The Ark
The Ark was established by famous actress Gabriele Jacoby and a few like minded people. The primary goal of the charity is to help suffering stray animals in Corfu, as well as abandoned animals. From feeding and medical treatments to relocation and sterilisation, everything is paid through donations.
To make a donation, you can visit the official website.
Agni Animal Welfare Fund
Registered in the United Kingdom, the charity operates in Corfu. It started as a small charity aimed at the stray cats of Corfu. With time, its mission diversified a little, providing relief to more animals. The charity can also help with pet transportation and other associated services.
To make a donation, learn more about the charity or see some of the animals in care, you can just visit the official website.
Corfu Owners Association
In theory, the Corfu Owners Association is mainly aimed at people who live in Corfu. That is not a general rule though. The purpose of this organization is to help maintain the island and protect the environment and ecology.
For instance, the Corfu Owners Association helped increase the recycling of waste in the north east part of the island by funding the purchase of a collection lorry. To donate, visit the official website.
There are definitely more charities in Corfu. If you would like to add or introduce one, feel free to use the contact page. If you are a tourist or just someone who loves Corfu, any help to support the island is greatly appreciated.
