As the end of 2024 approaches, our thoughts turn to giving to our families and friends and perhaps also giving to causes and worthy organisations which are important to us and to our community.
We hope that you will consider the Genealogical Society of Victoria as one of your worthy organisations. Indeed, as a member you have already demonstrated your interest.
The GSV is becoming increasingly dependent on technology, allowing members to access more detailed information, much of it from home. This is a massive benefit to all of our members. It does however come with increased risks. While we have very competent and dedicated volunteers doing much of the back-office work, we now face the need to engage the services of external, and at times expensive, professionals to ensure our technology setup is resilient to the risks of today and the future. We need your help to enable us to fund this.
We are always enormously grateful for a donation of any amount. Each gift makes a difference.
Donations to the GSV are tax-deductible. They can be made:
- online through the Donate Now link on the GSV website homepage or online through this link;
- by calling the GSV (on 03 9662 4455) with your credit card details; or
- by cheque in the mail (to Level 1, 10 Queen Street, Melbourne Victoria, 3000).
While talking about the need to secure the future of the GSV, may we ask you to consider the possibility of a bequest?
Such a gift in your will, after having provided for your family, will have the potential to transform the long-term future of the GSV.
If you would like to have a confidential, no obligation discussion, please contact the GSV by:
- email to bequests@gsv.org.au; or
- phoning the GSV on 03 9662 4455.
I will then contact you.
