Donate
We rely on the generosity of our donors so we can deliver holistic support to our members and the wider Defence community. We are currently developing our donation infrastructure, but please email us at admin@avla.org.au if you are looking to donate.
Corporate Sponsorships
If your organisation would like to become a corporate partner or sponsor, please email us at admin@avla.org.au to discuss.
Fundraising
We are a not-for-profit organisation that relies on the generosity of Australians to deliver our services to our members. We are currently working to develop our fundraising infrastructure, but please email us at admin@avla.org.au if you are keen to fundraise for us.
Bequests
A bequest in a will is the act of giving a gift to an individual or organisation. The gift may be a sum of money or an asset. Whether large or small, leaving a bequest to us in your will can make a long-lasting difference to the wellbeing and lives of our veteran community for years to come.
Your contribution will ensure we can support current and ex-serving members, as well as the broader community. For more information, please email us at admin@avla.org.au.
