:: Corporate sponsorship

Partnerships between philanthropic organisations and corporate businesses (of all sizes) can be a great way for corporates to illustrate their commitment to the community. Involve your company by encouraging them to support The Gut Foundation. It makes sense when digestive diseases cause so much loss of time from work.

:: Bequests

Anyone aged over 18 years needs to prepare a Will to ensure their wishes are carried out regarding the distribution of assets after their death. By leaving a contribution towards medical research in your will you can make a substantial contribution to the future health of all older people.

It is important to obtain sound advice about making your bequest, to ensure that after making careful provisions for you family, your wishes to support The Gut Foundation are made clear. It is best to seek independent legal advice when preparing your will to ensure your wishes are carried out.

The correct wording for a bequest to The Gut Foundation is:

" I, (full name)_______________, bequeath the sum of $_______ or
______% of my estate or ______% of the residue of my estate or
___________________________(property or shares etc)

to The Gut Foundation, the receipt of the Treasurer of which is sufficient discharge for payment."

:: In-memorium gifts and donations in lieu of flowers

By making a donation in memory of a loved one or friend, your donation will ensure that their memory lives on to help others. In memorium donations are recorded on a memorium board which is displayed in the foyer of The Gut Foundation. In memorium donations can also be made as a special tribute for a birthday, anniversary or simply in memory of a friend.

Another way that many families chose to remember loved ones is to encourage donations towards medical research be made in lieu of flowers at a funeral. The name of the person who has passed away will be recorded in perpetuity on a memorium board displayed at the Gastrointestinal Unit, The Prince of Wales Hospital.

:: Donations in lieu of gifts

If you are celebrating a special occasion but do not want friends and family members to give you gifts, why not consider asking them to donation to The Gut Foundation in lieu of a gift? This can be a wonderful way of supporting the Foundation as a large group, and having a great time in the process.

:: Fundraising events
