Legacies and bequests
By remembering Guide Dogs in your will, you can secure the future for people with vision impairment in your community.
Every day, Australians drive from A to B in their car without giving it a second thought. Yet for people who are vision impaired, travel is often no simple matter.
Like a car, Guide Dogs enable people to move around safely and independently. In fact, every Guide Dog costs about the price of a car. And that's a reasonable cost indeed, when you consider that that includes buying the puppy, its training, care and supervision, as well as its ongoing training with the client.
Guide Dogs, along with all our other services, are provided free of charge. And since we receive no government funding, we rely on bequests and donations to ensure people with vision impairment can travel independently in your community.
So whether large or small, your bequest will be valued greatly, because it will change the life of a person who may be blind or vision impaired.
You will help someone to live independently - and that's a rather remarkable gift indeed.
Your bequest will support our many services for people who are blind or vision impaired in your community, including:
