LEAVE A BEQUEST

Your Legacy

How would you like to be remembered?
No matter how big or small, when you make a donation in your Will you are not only providing assistance to our native wildlife now, but you will be giving a voice to the future.

Leaving a legacy of this kind ensures your values and passion for protecting our native wildlife and the environment are carried on for future generations.

Dingo Den Animal Rescue is committed to a bright and sustainable Australian future. We recognise that caring for Australia's ecosystems will provide all Australians- animal and human- with the prosperous future we all deserve. As a registered charity with The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), our key commitments are to prevent and relieve the suffering of wild animals, and to advance the natural environment.
​
​​Leaving a gift in your Will to our charity will help us:
  • Rehabilitate displaced wildlife that would otherwise perish in the wild
  • Provide specialised care facilities and sanctuaries for animals in need of physical and psychological treatment
  • Rescue dingoes from life-threatening environments like kill pounds and abusive homes
  • End dingo displacement, abuse, neglect, abandonment and euthanasia through education programs
  • Provide emergency care, foster care and life-time care for displaced animals
We rely entirely on the generosity of people like you to support our vision of saving Australia's vulnerable fauna and flora. Investing in our mission will help us save countless lives for future generations to come.

We would be honoured if you choose to make the protection of Australia's native flora and fauna an integral part of your own personal legacy through a bequest.

​Endorsed by the ATO as a DGR 
To support those who support us, we have worked diligently to become endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) by the Australian Tax Office (ATO). DGR status demands a charity meets strict criteria and is not an easy status to achieve, but it’s one we deem worthwhile. Having done the hard yards, the ATO considers our charity a worthy cause to support, and as such, offers all Australian residents with a tax deduction if they donate to us. We’ve become a DGR for you. It’s our way of saying thank you for supporting us.
