Bequests & Wills
Leave a legacy that will enhance the lives of people living with diabetes.
Your gift will change lives.
When a person includes DRWA in their Will we feel deep appreciation, understanding the level of decision-making, consideration and thought that goes into planning their estate.
Over the years we have been incredibly fortunate to have received generous gifts to our research program and are immensely grateful to those who believe in the value of research and the change it can bring. In fact, over 50% of our research has been enabled due to the very generous people in our community.
What happens when you include DRWA in your estate planning?
When you leave a gift to DRWA, we can continue to fund ground-breaking research into all types of diabetes, improve management and treatment options for diabetes, and prevent complications associated with diabetes. Gifts are directed towards research projects right here in Western Australia.
In recent years, due to an increase in gifts, we have been able to expand our research focus to include two streams of research: basic/fundamental science and clinical/translational research. This ensures we can deliver sustainable research outcomes in WA leading to reducing the impact of diabetes in our community.
A gift in lieu of flowers or in memory.
You can ask family and friends to give a donation to Diabetes Research WA in lieu of flowers at a funeral, or in memory of your loved one. Donations in lieu of flowers can be sent to Diabetes Research WA, GPO Box X2213, Perth WA 6847 or via our Donations page.
If you would like to include a gift to DRWA in your estate planning or would like to obtain specific wording for your Will, please contact us at admin@diabetesresearchwa.com.au
