Your donation in memory of a loved one can be an enduring gift to help RDA Brigadoon continue to develop the abilities and enrich the lives of people living with disabilities.

Memorial gifts can be encouraged in an obituary listing, or by adding a line to a funeral notice which says, "In lieu of flowers, donations to Riding for the Disabled Brigadoon will be appreciated."  Special donation envelopes can be organised through your funeral director.

RDA Brigadoon acknowledges all memorial gifts with a letter and receipt, and also writes to the bereaved family to express condolences and acknowledge those who gave in honour of their loved one. Gift amounts are not disclosed and donor requests for anonymity are respected and preserved.

All memorial gifts are tax deductible.

An enduring gift to RDA Brigadoon can be made as a bequest, and may be as simple as adding a codicil to your will, but seek advice from your solicitor.

A will is your personal matter and your decision alone. Of course Riding for the Disabled Association Brigadoon will appreciate any gift you may wish to leave in your memory after you have provided for your family.

RDA Brigadoon developsability and enriches the lives of people living with disabilities through its caring and committed volunteers. You may have owned, ridden and loved horses, and thus have a natural affinity for Riding for the Disabled Association of Brigadoon.

A bequest to Riding for the Disabled Association Brigadoon may be made in several ways:

• As a residual bequest, which is the remainder after all other gifts and expenses are paid
• After a life interest, when a property, such as a farm, is left to a beneficiary to occupy or receive income from in their lifetime, then passes to RDA Brigadoon
