The Shane Warne Legacy is where innovation meets philanthropy. We fund our work through partnerships, not public donations, and we are not a charity. Contributions to the causes below go 100% to the nominated charities through their own "Shane Warne Legacy Fund", with a fully tax-deductible receipt.

Diabetes Australia
An estimated 2 million Australians are living with diabetes and more than 300 people are newly diagnosed every day. Diabetes is a leading cause of heart and kidney disease, stroke, limb amputation, mental and emotional health challenges, and preventable blindness.
Diabetes Australia’s ambition is for a future where diabetes can do no harm. At the Shane Warne Legacy we share this ambition. We’ve come to understand the close connection between type 2 diabetes and complications such as heart disease, and how healthier lifestyle choices can significantly reduce people’s risk. Through our partnership with Diabetes Australia we are committed to raising awareness and improving the lives of Australians.

The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute
Heart disease does not discriminate. It takes the lives of young and old, men and women, and those like Shane, who are in the prime of their lives. It’s Australia’s biggest killer and takes the life of one Australian every 28 minutes. In fact, nearly three times more women die of heart disease than breast cancer.
Sometimes there is no second chance. It doesn’t have to be this way. In some cases it is preventable.
The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute is dedicated to finding new cures and treatments to beat heart disease. Its scientists are behind breakthroughs that have cured families of deadly inherited heart disorders, developed screening tests for those at risk of sudden cardiac death, and are working on a potential new treatment that could reduce the number of children born with heart defects.

The Florey Shane Warne Legacy Fund
The day before Shane's departure for Thailand, he expressed a desire to engage in charitable work within the field of brain research when he returned. Sadly, this dream was unable to be fulfilled by him personally, however his legacy lives on.
In honour of his wishes, Shane's family requested that, in place of flowers at his State Memorial, donations be made to The Florey, which led to the establishment of their very own "Shane Warne Legacy Fund” which has already raised over $54,000 for research.
The Florey, based in Melbourne, Australia, is a prominent brain research centre with a dedicated team of over 350 researchers. Their ongoing research focuses on more than 20 neurological and psychiatric conditions.
