In Memoriam Donations

Making a donation in memory of a loved one...

Thank you for considering the Menzies Institute for Medical Research for gifts in memory of your loved one. In Memoriam gifts to Menzies provide crucial support to researchers working to find a cure for diseases that affect the Tasmanian community and beyond.

After receiving a donation, we send a letter to the family to notify them of the generous gift. For your privacy, we do not disclose the amount of your donation, unless you would like us to. We will also send you a tax-deductible receipt for all donations over $2.
