Fundraise
Our members and supporters make our work possible. And sometimes they go to extraordinary lengths and have loads of fun raising money for us.
Anything is possible!
You can walk, run, climb or swim to raise vital funds for the Trust. Or perhaps you might like to ask friends and relatives to make a donation in lieu of a wedding, Christmas or birthday present? Have a cake sale, shake a bucket or organise a murder mystery night?!
We’re hugely grateful to everyone who takes the time and effort to fundraise for us. The Burren is better off because of you.
Just contact us with your event details and we will provide any support we can. Please send us your photos of the event so we can thank you on our website and post them on our Facebook page.

Gather donations online
Once you’ve got your idea, you’ll probably want to set up a fundraising page to collect sponsorship online. It’s a great way to raise money and publicise your event. There are several different options including Justgiving and Mycharity.ie.
Whatever you choose to do, the Trust can provide support, promotion and materials including collecting boxes. If you have any questions or want to get involved in supporting us please contact us on info@burrenbeo.com or 091-638096.
