Donating to Thorne Harbour Health in memory of a loved one is a meaningful way to celebrate and commemorate their life. Your donation, which may be in lieu of flowers at a funeral, is a tribute that can assist us in supporting people living with or affected by HIV, and targeting our efforts on those most at risk of HIV transmission.

We are extremely grateful to those who donate to us in memory of a loved one, for demonstrating such generosity during a time of personal sadness. There are a number of ways you can make an 'In memory' donation:

• Call Thorne Harbour Health on (03) 9865 6700 to make a payment over the phone with a credit or debit card.
• Download and print the 'In memory' donation form (195 KB) and forward it to us with your donation.
• Click here to complete your donation in memory online.

Your gift is tax-deductible and you will receive a receipt shortly after making your donation. Upon request and where contact details are available, the next of kin will be written to, to provide details of donations received in memory of their loved one.

In memory cards and envelopes

If you require in memory donation cards and envelopes to distribute at a funeral, please phone (03) 9865 6700, or ask the funeral director to make these arrangements on your behalf.

Leave a gift for a brighter future.

We know that your first priority when making a will is to provide for your loved ones, but many people find that even after they’ve done this they can leave something to a cause they hold dear. While the subject of writing a will is one that few of us like to think about, it is important to ensure your will provides for those who are important to you, and ensures your wishes are honoured in the event of your passing.

Leaving Thorne Harbour Health a gift in your will is one of the most valuable and lasting ways you can support us. It costs nothing during your lifetime but can have a powerful impact for years to come.

If you would like to write or amend your will to include Thorne Harbour Health, we strongly recommend that you seek independent legal advice. A solicitor will be able to advise you on the type of bequest to suit your circumstances.

Leaving a bequest to our organisation is an incredibly meaningful gift, which will help us provide a brighter future for people affected by or at risk of HIV, by helping to fund our Nutritional Services, so that people living with HIV, who are often living below the poverty line, can obtain free or affordable food, or assist by providing individuals living with HIV with grants to fund specific essential items, household bills or study assistance.

There are three main types of bequests you can leave in your will:

• Residual: Funds left over after all other provisions have been made
• Percentage: A percentage of your estate
• Specific: A fixed sum from your estate

You could also consider leaving an item of value, such as a property or work of art.

Money that is left to Thorne Harbour Health in your will is paid before tax is deducted and therefore offers you a way of reducing the total amount of inheritance tax due from your estate.

WHERE TO GET FURTHER INFORMATION

We would advise all donors to seek independent advice when making major decisions relating to a personal financial and taxation situation.
