Every donation helps provide Guide Dogs and life-changing services for people living with low vision or blindness.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a tribute page and a one-off donation?
A tribute page allows family and friends to come together to celebrate a loved one's life, share memories and make donations in their honour. A one-off donation is a single gift made in memory of someone special.
Can I request donations instead of flowers?
Yes. Many families choose to honour a loved one by requesting donations instead of flowers at a funeral or memorial service.
Our team can provide resources to help make this simple and meaningful, including donation envelopes, QR code signage and information for guests.
To arrange donation collection at a funeral or commemoration service, please contact our team on 8203 8349 or email fundraising@guidedogs.org.au.
How will donations made in memory be acknowledged?
We will send a receipt to each person who makes an in-person donation in memory at the funeral.
We will also send an acknowledgement letter to the family or next of kin, sharing the names of those who have donated in honour of your loved one.
Those who donate via an in-memory tribute page will recieve an email receipt.
Can I create a tribute page for my pet?
Absolutely. We know pets are cherished members of the family. A pet tribute page is a special way to celebrate the love, companionship and memories you shared while helping future Guide Dogs change lives.
