"Whatever your priorities in life, so should they be in death," says Josephine Lewis, ChildFund Australia supporter and bequestor.

Including a gift to ChildFund Australia in your will can be the gift of a lifetime that changes the tragic reality faced by so many children. Gifts in wills, no matter how big or small, can make a huge difference to the work we do. You can provide children and generations to come with life essentials, such as clean water, nutritious food, healthcare, education and more.

When the time is right for you and after taking care of your loved ones, we ask that you consider leaving a gift to ChildFund Australia in your will.

There are many practical issues to consider when writing a will, and we advise you to seek professional legal and financial advice. To make things a little bit easier, ChildFund Australia has created a Guide to Wills and Bequests - download your copy.

A gift left in your will can continue the sponsorship of your child for future years, or be earmarked for general purposes, which means that the project or situation that is most in need will receive your funding.
