About our partnerships
It takes a village to raise a Guide Dog and we rely on support from a range of generous partners.
Every partner is passionate about supporting Australians living with low vision or blindness to reach their personal potential.
Our National Partners support us in a variety of ways, including through:
- cause-related marketing campaigns
- workplace giving
- customer fundraising
- volunteering
- pro bono goods and services, and more.
We thank all of our partners for their ongoing commitment to our important work.
