Ways to Help

The Trish Foundation is run entirely by dedicated volunteers, and the Directors cover all administrative costs — so every dollar you give goes straight into MS research, in close partnership with scientists across Australia. None of our work would be possible without your generosity. Please support us in any of the ways below as we work towards Freedom from MS.

Make a Donation

Donations of $2 and over are tax-deductible (DGR 900490691) and your official receipt will be mailed to you. Choose how you would like to give:

Your gift will help fund a Translational Research Project Grant commencing 2027, awarded to an Australian researcher undertaking high-quality translational MS research. No amount is too small to make a difference.

Bequests

“I am sorry to have to tell you that you have multiple sclerosis.”

Those words are heard coming from the lips of doctors across Australia and the world every day. There are over 2.9 million people world-wide living with multiple sclerosis.

Making a Bequest to the Trish Multiple Sclerosis Research Foundation will contribute greatly to the pursuit of a cure or preventive strategy for multiple sclerosis.

Our volunteer team would be grateful if you would consider making a bequest in support of the Foundation. We appreciate your interest in the Trish Multiple Sclerosis Research Foundation.

A very high percentage of Australians die without leaving a Will which invariably causes distress and confusion to those they leave behind. It is therefore important to leave a valid and up-to-date Will.

Have you, your loved ones or any of your friends been touched by multiple sclerosis?

Any legacy or gift you leave will most definitely ‘make a difference’ because the Foundation is totally staffed by volunteers and every dollar raised by the Foundation is placed into research.

The importance of making a Will

The only way to ensure your wishes will be carried out after you pass away is to detail your wishes in a legal Will.

You may have made promises during your lifetime which cannot be carried out because they may not be enforceable by law.

If a person dies without leaving a Will, it is the family who usually suffers. Independent legal advice is essential to ensure the validity of a Will and any bequests.

Leaving a bequest or legacy to charity is a personal decision and often occurs because the work of a charitable organisation has had an impact on a person’s life or the life of their loved ones.

The generosity of people in making a bequest to the Trish Multiple Sclerosis Research Foundation will greatly benefit research funded by the Foundation.
