Remembering Guide Dogs Victoria in your Will

The gift of freedom

With a bequest to Guide Dogs Victoria, you can provide the most precious gift of all.

A new life for someone - a life made more fulfilling through your generosity.

Have you made a Will?

Or if you have, is it still up-to-date?

In making a Will, usually the first priority is your family and special friends. While you are deciding where your money will go, we hope you will think about leaving a gift to GDV.

As a registered charity that receives minimal government funding, we rely heavily on support from the public. Thanks to people's generosity, bequests are an extremely important source of the funds that enable thousands of vision impaired people to become mobile and independent with a Guide Dog or to benefit from our other range of services.

Guide Dogs Victoria is endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as an income exempt charitable entity and a deductible gift recipient.

Someone will never forget you

Otus, Retired Stud Dog By making a bequest to GDV - that is leaving a gift or legacy in your Will - you can really make a difference. You are helping us to provide a range of services and training to improve the quality of life and independence of blind and vision impaired Victorians. The breeding and training of Guide Dogs is a significant part of this vital activity.

Your bequest, however big or small, is greatly valued and is a significant help in our future planning. Please let us know if you are considering leaving a bequest to GDV so we can invite you to visit our centre and see first hand how your contribution will be used.
