We do, however, depend heavily on the support we receive from the community, and the devotion and generosity of our many benefactors, both corporate and personal. This public spirited community support is a great encouragement and gives us the flexibility to pursue new research initiatives as soon as opportunities arise. Donations are used exclusively for research programs. For this reason, it is not necessary for a donor to specify a particular purpose. If, however, a donor requests that the donation be directed towards a specific research program, then we will, of course, do so.
Donations are allowable income tax deductions.
In addition to their regular gifts, many of our benefactors are setting aside a contribution for our important research work through their Will. They see this as one way to extend their help beyond their own life-time. When considering including the Institute in your Will, it may be advisable to seek professional advice from your solicitor, accountant or other consultant with respect to taxation, probate or other financial matters. Another option which may be of interest is a named fund and this can be done by a single gift or by instalments. Once again, we invite you to discuss this with our Development Officer if this way of helping the Institute appeals.
