Gifts in memory & wills
A gift in your will or in memory to Diabetes
Queensland makes a world of difference in our fight to
reduce the impact of diabetes across the Queensland
community.
Gifts in memory
Celebrate a life in a special way with In Memoriam
Giving.
Donating to Diabetes Queensland in memory of a loved one, or
asking family and friends to donate in lieu of flowers at a
funeral, is a positive and lasting way of celebrating a person's
life.
Many families choose to honour their loved one by requesting
donations to Diabetes Queensland in lieu of flowers, or by
organising an event to raise funds in their memory.
You may create an online tribute using Everyday
Hero or request our Gift in Memory reply paid envelopes
for services. To receive a supply of remembrance envelopes or for
any enquiries please contact our Helpline on 1300 136 588
or via our online form.
A tax deductible receipt will be sent to all identified donors.
We also send acknowledgement of contributions (name only, not
amount) to the family or next of kin.
This wonderful gift will be used to improve the health and
wellness of Queenslanders living with diabetes. Any gift, no matter
the size, helps people with all types of diabetes.
To celebrate the life of your loved one in a special way visit
our In Memory page here.

Every gift makes a difference
Diabetes Queensland works hard to improve the lives of people
living with diabetes, and to provide them and their families with
up-to-date information and support.
For more than 40 years, we have worked to turn diabetes around
in Queensland. This purpose drives everything we do - from
developing awareness and prevention programs to detection and
management strategies, and our ultimate goal - to find a cure for
diabetes.
For example, our support of research through the Diabetes
Queensland Research Grant Fund and the Diabetes Australia Research
Trust enables you to change the lives of future generations.
Diabetes Queensland has a range of programs that provide ongoing
education, support and advice. We work hand-in-hand with the
government, other health organisations, media and community groups,
to improve the health of people living with, or at risk, of
diabetes.
How to leave a Gift in your Will
Leaving a gift in your Will is easy.This gift is a simple
process that can touch the lives of people who need our support -
even after you are gone.
Your lasting gift will help children and adults living with
diabetes now and into the future. Your gift will also help those
who love and care for them. It will help to deliver
support services, as well as benefit countless people for many
years, through our commitment to research and improving the lives
of people with all types of diabetes.
A Will enables you to say exactly what you want to happen to
your assets and is your lasting legacy.
Making a Will ensures that your family knows how you would like
your assets to be distributed, and means you can continue to look
after those you care about after your death. You can review and
update your Will at any time, particularly when your circumstances
change.
Diabetes Queensland recommends that you obtain independent legal
advice from a solicitor or the Public Trustee when updating or
making a new Will.
