The donkey wheel Prescribed Private Fund & Charitable Trust was established in 2004 for the purpose of philanthropic gifting.

Our goal is to make every action philanthropic in nature and this philosophy drives our gifting decisions as well as our investment decisions, expenditure and activities. We are committed to doing our part towards an ethical and connected world.

As a small foundation, donkey wheel has funded local, national and international projects with a high potential to create significant positive change for modest investment.

We have a passion for social change, constantly seeking ideas that move away from today’s problems and instead, create a new world. We believe extraordinary change happens when people think differently – and that leaders of grass roots level change need to be supported and nurtured so that their ideas can take root and flourish. We have therefore always sought passionate leaders with ideas that demonstrate a DIFFERENT way of thinking.

With a board overseeing the organisation and a small, agile and dynamic management team, we make a different difference & a lasting impact through our investments of time, talent & treasure.
