Workplace Giving Programs If you would like to assist in the fundraising area, it's worthwhile checking to see if your employer is currently a participant, or is interested in becoming one, in a payroll program called workplace giving. Workplace giving is an easy way for employees to regularly donate to charities who are entitled to receive tax deductible donations, such as MDANSW. Donations are paid directly from employees' gross income on a regular basis to their chosen charities. Workplace giving programs are simple to set up and make the process of giving and receiving employee donations very easy. They are becoming an increasingly important source of revenue for registered charities. If you or your employer would like to know more about setting up a workplace giving program or helping MDANSW become a participating charity in such a program, please call Ian Dear on 9697 9111.
| | Bequests Bequests play a vital role in helping our families both in crisis and day-to-day situations. Making a Will ensures that you can decide how your assets will be distributed. After considering your family, you may wish to help others with a bequest. A bequest is a very special gift that can make a real and lasting difference. Muscular Dystrophy Association of NSW would be most grateful for your support and your bequest would go directly towards assisting those people living with muscular dystrophy. If you would like to make a bequest to Muscular Dystrophy Association of NSW, we recommend that you consult a qualified solicitor to ensure the correct wording. The following wording is suggested: "I give and bequeath (list percentage of estate, residue of estate, specific amount of money or items) free of all death and estate duties to Muscular Dystrophy Association of NSW. The receipt of the Chief Executive Officer of the Association will be a full and sufficient discharge to my Trustees and Executors." Please call the office on 9697 9111 should you wish to talk in confidence about making a bequest.
Sell our Soldier Pin Badges and Pens
Our Solider badges and pens are a great way to raise funds and awareness in your local community. All stock comes in a self-contained unit for easy storage on counters at your local shops, clubs or school.
Become a Volunteer
Volunteers are essential to our Association, in helping to keep costs down enabling more money to be spent on services for our members, in helping to increase the skills in our team and in helping us to resource special events. If you have time on a one off or regular basis to help out in our office or at events then we'd love to hear from you.
Donate a Gift in Kind
Keeping our costs down is a crucial aim for us, enabling us to make sure that community donations go towards our members' needs. We are grateful for the donation of goods and services as Gifts in Kind, and if you are interested in supporting us in this way please call us on 02 9697 9111.
Raise Awareness in your Community
If you know someone in your community that is affected by muscular dystrophy, either directly or indirectly, then please let them know about us. We have a range of information services and support initiatives.
You can also help to raise awareness by holding a fundraising event in your community or by selling our Solider badges and pens. We are happy to support you with fundraising advice and materials.
For more information about any of the above, or other ways that you can help to support people living with muscular dystrophy, please call us on 02 9697 9111 or email us at info@mdansw.org | |
