Why make a Donation to Commuication Rights Australia?
Communication Rights is specialist state wide advocacy, information, community training and education service registered under Corporation Act and limited by guarantee. Through the provision of these services Communication Rights ensures people who experience communication or speech difficulties have equity of access to services and facilities enjoyed by other members of the community.
Communication Rights is a not-for profit organisation governed by a voluntary Board of Management. It is the only specialist organisation of its kind in Australia and has a national membership network. All Government funding provided under our three year contract goes to providing direct advocacy service and still we are unable to eliminate our waiting list. Hence we require assistance to cover unfunded activities.
There are many ways to help Communication Rights continue to empower people with little or no speech and ensure they can access the same rights as other members of the community:
- You may wish to make a donate, leave cash, or other asset like real estate or shares;
- You can choose to leave a nominated percentage of your estate or leave a residual gift (this means that after you have specified all your gifts for family and friends, you can nominate that you want to leave part or all of what is left to Communication Rights;
- You can bequeath a life insurance policy;
- You can establish an income generating trust or endowment with annual disbursements.
We would prefer that you make a donation for general purpose by specifying that your donation to be directed to protecting and advancing the rights of people with communication and speech difficulties.
