By leaving a gift to Guide Dogs Victoria, you can make a profound change to the life of a person with low vision. You may never meet the person whose life your kindness changes, but they will never forget you.
Your gift helps us provide a range of services and support programs to improve people’s independence. The breeding and training of Guide Dogs is a significant part of this activity. Gifts in Wills also help us provide ongoing mobility training to ensure that people with low vision can learn practical skills and become confident members of the community.
All gifts – however great or small – are greatly valued and significantly help in our future planning.
Around 50% of the (bequest) income we receive from Gifts in Wills comes from people we never realised were leaving anything to us in their Will.
If you are considering leaving a gift in your Will, please let us know. We appreciate knowing of your kind intentions so we can thank you appropriately for your generosity. Additionally, once aware of your plans, we are able to discuss how your gift may be used to maximum benefit or how we may form a fitting memorial to your kindness.
We also personally thank all supporters and present you with a special Guide Dogs Victoria Gifts in Wills Pin.
