Donations

Please help us to make a difference

TVWC is a volunteer group relying predominantly on the generosity of its members who donate their time, and thousands of their own dollars, to the rescue and rehabilitation of our native wildlife. Members also work tirelessly at fundraising to pay for some of the costs of running the group, vet bills, etc.

It is really appreciated, therefore, when members of the public give donations to the group, in recognition of the wonderful, selfless work of our members. Such public generosity helps us provide our 24-hour, 365 day-a-year service. We currently respond to nearly 4,000 calls a year, and take in over 2,000 native animals into care, but, as urban expansion increases on the coast, so too do the number of calls and subsequent animals needing rehabilitation.

Please help us to maintain and increase this invaluable service to the people of the Tweed Valley, and its unique wildlife. Every cent of every donation goes towards providing our wonderful rescue and rehabilitation service - there are no paid staff; just committed, trained volunteers. Your generosity will also allow us to further increase our standards of care and equipment, and ensure that wildlife like the young Squirrel Glider, a threatened species, seen here, or any of the animals on our Animals in Care page, get the second chance they deserve.

Bequests 

Leaving part of your estate to a charity is referred to as a bequest. 

In your will you have an opportunity of helping to care for our sick and injured native wildlife for long after you have gone thus assisting the preservation of our unique animals for your grandchildren and posterity. 

We suggest that you obtain advice from your solicitor when drafting your will as the wording is important and there are different types of bequests which can be explained to you. 

To name but two of these, bequests may be  

  • A specific gift of money
  • A specific gift of property, such as real estate or shares 

It is important that you use our full name (Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers Inc) and our Australian Business Number [ABN] (90 729 726 308) so that we receive your gift.

Bequests made to Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers Inc may be exempt from Capital Gains Tax as we are a registered charity. 

We are grateful to you for considering making a bequest to us and you may be assured that your wishes will be put to the best possible use for our animals. 

If you wish to make a donation, either use our safe and encrypted paypal option here.
