Regular Giving
Regular giving provides vital, ongoing funding to ensure BreastWest can plan for the future to deliver more services and support for our patients.
Regular donations are simple and easy to set up, and every donation helps, no matter how big or small. At the end of the financial year you will automatically receive an annual statement for your much appreciated contributions. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
In Celebration
You can give In Celebration to BreastWest for a number of personal life milestones or special occasion by asking friends, family members or work colleagues to make a donation instead of buying gifts. Whether the celebration is for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, Christening, Bar Mitzvah or something else you can support our work.
It’s really simple to make an In Celebration gift to BreastWest. All you need to do is decide whether you would like to organise a fundraising webpage or collect money on the day (or both!). Either way, we are here to support you every step of the way.
In Memorium
You can make tribute to someone’s life that has passed away by making donations in lieu of flowers at a funeral. Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy, but leaving gifts in memoriam is a way that many families take comfort from their loss.
Through the generous support of such donations, the life of your loved will be remembered and celebrated, and the patients who are facing a breast cancer diagnosis will be invaluably assisted.
Anyone can make a donation at any time in memory of a loved one. We can provide you with special donation envelopes for the collection and we can deliver these directly to the family, or the funeral home. We can also provide the next of kin with a list of all donors and the total amount donated in honour of their loved one.
Organise an Event
We always welcome people in the community to support BreastWest by organizing their own events. Whether it’s arranging a ball, sausage sizzle or running event we are here to support you every step of the way. Please contact Danny Crabb on 03 8345 7663 to discuss your idea and to help you with things you will need, such as a permission to fundraise letter and top tips.
Bequests
You can leave a gift in your Will to make a lasting difference to the work of BreastWest.
Remember you can leave a gift that is as little or as large as is possible for you. If you have friends or family members to take care of then a final gift to BreastWest will make a huge difference and will allow us to continue to care for our patients.
Corporate Giving
You can give through your Company. BreastWest can only exist with the support from our Western Committee Corporate Partners – Highpoint, Qenos, Victoria University, and the Western Bulldogs. BreastWest continues to seek partners from across the region and further. Whether your business employs a handful of staff or thousands of staff, there's many ways your company can make a meaningful contribution to our breast cancer patients.
Engaging your employees or colleagues in fundraising benefits both your business and BreastWest. There's no better way to build team morale than to rally together for a worthwhile cause. Our corporate giving program aims to build mutually beneficial relationships in which your entire workforce can take pride.
