Community Donations

At BASSCARE, being a not-for-profit aged care provider means we depend on something powerful — the kindness of people. Donate to BASSCARE and you give more than funds; you give hope, dignity and belonging. Community donations, whether large or small, become threads that weave everyday care into extraordinary moments of joy and connection. 

Every gift — from aged care donations to a gift of time, to leaving a bequest to charity — becomes part of a living legacy. Together, these acts of generosity allow us to imagine new possibilities, spark wonder and carry forward a fabric of care that uplifts older people and their families with tenderness and trust.

Donations

Generosity flows in many ways: a voice on the phone, a letter in the mail, a simple online gift. However it arrives, each contribution becomes part of something greater, nourishing dignity and deepening connection. From community donations made today to a future bequest to charity, your kindness turns ordinary days into moments that shimmer with extraordinary meaning.

How to Donate

Why Make a Will?

Almost half of Australians pass away without a Will, leaving uncertainty behind. A Will ensures your wishes are honoured and your loved ones are cared for. More than that, it gives you the opportunity to create a legacy — through gifts to family, support for aged care donations, or leaving a bequest to charity that reflects your values and brings light to future generations. 
 
Making a Codicil (Amendment) 
A codicil is a gentle way to shape the future without rewriting the past. With a few words, you can add a loved one or include community donations to BASSCARE. In this way, your intentions remain clear and your kindness continues to ripple outward, touching lives with comfort and confidence.

Memorial Giving 

When someone we love passes, grief seeks a way to be transformed. Making a donation to BASSCARE in their honour becomes a gift of hope — a way to carry their memory forward while shaping new possibilities for others. Through community donations, loss is gently woven into a legacy of care and connection.

Through this shared generosity, sorrow is transformed into kindness — weaving memory and hope into a future where dignity, care and the quiet magic of connection endure.
