Remember your loved one by giving to The Baird Institute on their behalf

Many families choose to honour their loved one’s memory and create a lasting legacy by accepting donations on their behalf for The Baird Institute.  Sometimes providing a positive outlet for grief can help people to cope with the loss of their loved ones.

Request “In Memoriam Giving” donation envelopes

To request donation envelopes, you can contact us on 02 9550 2350 or send an email to [email protected].  Alternatively, you can ask the funeral home to contact us.

Donate in memory of your loved one

You can make a single (donate once) or recurring (donate monthly) gift in memory of your loved one by clicking here .  When filling out the donation form, indicate in the comments field who your donation is in memory of.

Create an online donation page

You can also choose to collect donations in memory of your loved one through an online donation page. Donors can leave messages of support and automatically receive a tax-deductible receipt. Click here and then click on the button “CREATE CROWDRAISER” to set up your own online donation page.

Alternatively, just give us a call and we’ll make it an easy, stress free process for you. 

Either way, please contact The Baird Institute for a confidential discussion.

How we remember your loved one

We will ensure your loved one is remembered by The Baird Institute and all who benefit from this generosity.

When you give a gift in memory of someone, we will add their name to our gratitude webpage – a page dedicated to donors and memorial gifts. 

If you wish, The Baird Institute will write a condolence letter to the family of the bereaved, letting them know you have kindly made this gift in honour of their loved one.
