In memoriam

Mother and daughter grieving

Donating to SANE in memory of someone close to you is a very special way to honour their life and create a lasting legacy.

In memoriam donations are directed to the areas of greatest need in our organisation, providing support, research and advocacy for Australians affected by complex mental health issues.

How to donate in memory

You can donate online by selecting 'This gift is in memory'.

You also have the option to provide contact details for someone to receive acknowledgement of your gift, such as a loved one or family member.

Donations in lieu of flowers

Many people make the generous and thoughtful decision to nominate donations to SANE in lieu of flowers.

To request donations in place of flowers at a funeral, please use the following information in the funeral notice or obituary:

In lieu of flowers, we invite you to donate to SANE at https://donate.sane.org.      

Creating a tribute page

In choosing donations in lieu of flowers, you may decide to create an online tribute page for your loved one. Tribute pages are a special place for friends and family to post messages with their donation.

Everyone who donates to your page will receive a tax-deductible receipt directly for donations of $2 or more via this page.
