Make a Monetary Donation

Epilepsy Australia is dependent on community support to enable us to continue to make a difference in the lives of people living with epilepsy.

With around 400,000 Australians living with epilepsy demands on our resources are great. While much is being achieved imagine how much more we could do if all who used our resources made a tax-deductible donation.

Epilepsy Australia Limited is a registered charity and donations are tax-deductible.

Please help us by making a donation today. Donations of $2 and over are tax-deductible. We issue receipts for donations of $5 or more, amounts below this are receipted on request.

There are several ways of giving:

Send a Donation

Please help us by making a donation today. Donations can be forwarded to Epilepsy Australia, 818 Burke Road, Camberwell, Victoria 3124.

Set up regular donations by direct debit

By making a regular tax-deductible donation using direct debit from your bank account, you can help us keep donation process costs to a minimum. To further assist you can request one annual receipt. Regular giving also assists us in effectively planning our future, ensuring greater certainty for critical programs.

Celebration

You may choose to nominate Epilepsy Australia Limited as the recipient of a donation in lieu of giving or receiving gifts. Simply complete the In Celebration Donation form and return by mail or fax, and the recipient will receive an acknowledgement card passing on your kind message for their special day. Naturally, the amount of the gift is not stated unless particularly requested.

Make a Bequest

A gift in your Will can assist Epilepsy Australia to continue to make a difference to the lives of all Australians living with epilepsy. Your financial commitment to Epilepsy Australia enables future generations to gain major benefits from your legacy.

We urge you to ensure that you have a valid Will, as many Australians do not and we all deserve to have our assets distributed to respect our wishes.

If you have bequeathed a gift to Epilepsy Australia Limited we would appreciate the opportunity of thanking you personally for your generosity.

As a suggestion, the following wording may be useful:

I give and bequeath free of all duties and taxes (here state the dollar amount or asset to be gifted) to Epilepsy Australia Limited of 818 Burke Road, Camberwell Victoria 3124, ACN: 097 003 382, absolutely:

• For the general charitable purposes of EpilepsyAustralia Limited

and I direct that the receipt of the Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer or other authorized officer of Epilepsy Australia shall be good and sufficient discharge to my executors.

In Memory Giving

When someone close to us dies, we experience grief, sadness and, ultimately, an appreciation of all memories we have of that special person.

An In Memory Gift to Epilepsy Australia is a special way to remember someone, and at the same time help give hope and life to those who remain.

An In Memory Gift can be an individual donation in memory of a loved one or friend.

An In Memory Gift can be a donation at the request of the bereaved family in lieu of flowers at the funeral or service. Special envelopes can be provided for this purpose. Please ask your Funeral Director to contact us to provide envelopes for the service, or contact us directly.

For some people an In Memory Gift donated on the anniversary of their loved ones birthday or a date significant only to them is their way of paying tribute to special memories.

Group or Corporate In Memory Gifts

When someone dies their passing has a profound effect on their work colleagues, sports team or social group. Many times the group feels they would like to do something together to jointly honour the memory of their friend who has died.

Donations may collected from a variety sources: from the employer, from colleagues, from a fundraising activity specially organized in honour of their friend, or collected at sporting events or a social dinner.

When making an In Memory Gift please provide the following details:

  1. Your name and address or
  2. The names of all donors if it is a group donation (so that we can forward receipt/s)
  3. The name and address of the person who has died
  4. The name and address of the next of kin or family member, (so that we can inform them of your kind memorial donation, without mentioning the $ amount)

Epilepsy Australia greatly appreciates these acts of generosity at a time of personal loss.
