Can I donate in memory?

Can I donate shares or other assets?
Yes. We can accept shares directly without brokerage fees. If your shares exceed $50, you can also give without brokerage through ShareGift Australia. We can suggest a range of independent financial advisors. Contact us to discuss.
Can donations be in lieu of gifts?
Yes, you can donate on behalf of someone in leiu of birthday or wedding gifts - include the person's name in the 'Comments' field.
