How to leave a gift in your Will

How to leave a gift in your Will

Step 1. -Talk it over with your family and loved ones

This is a personal decision for you to make but we recommend letting your loved ones know that you are planning to also leave a gift to ChildFund Australia.

Step 2. – Decide what kind of gift to leave
• A residual gift – the most effective gift that you can leave. Nominate a portion or percentage of your estate that you think is right – while still providing for your loved ones.
• A specific amount – this will not change or grow over time unless the Will is updated.
• An Asset – Please ensure that these are clearly described in the Will.

Step 3. – Get the professional help of an Estate Planner or Legal Practitioner
Your Will is an important legal document, and a solicitor or public trustee can help you ensure that your paperwork is in order.

Every gift in Will, no matter how big or small, is a step closer to ChildFund’s vision of a world without poverty where all children and young people can say: “I am safe. I am educated. I contribute. I have a future.

Sadly, as a consequence of poverty, too many children around the world are at risk of violence, illness, child labour and hunger. A child that faces these threats is less likely to go to school and get the education that could be the key to their future.

With your help, we can continue to give children the opportunity to learn, to eat nutritious food, to get the health services they need and to be kept safe.

When you choose to leave a gift in your Will to ChildFund Australia you have the opportunity to ensure a future where today’s children grow into strong, educated, empowered and engaged adults – who grow up to become parents and positive role-models for the next generation of children.

You can leave a gift in your Will and give children the support they need.

Because every child needs a childhood.

“Leaving a gift in my Will to ChildFund has been important to me. I know it will be used wisely. ChildFund is aware of where the poverty is and what the difficulties are, and will allocate the money according to the need.”
