One Decision. Infinite Impact
When you drop a stone into still water, the ripples travel far beyond where it lands. A gift in your Will works the same way—starting with one community and spreading opportunity through families, across regions, and into the future.
For more than 85 years, ChildFund supporters have proven that one thoughtful decision can transform countless lives: children educated, communities strengthened, and cycles of poverty broken.
By including ChildFund in your Will, you help ensure these ripples of change continue long after today.
If you decide to include a gift to ChildFund Australia in your Will, all you or your solicitor needs is our name and ABN: ChildFund Australia / ABN: 79 002 885 761.
Here is some suggested wording which you can take to your solicitor for guidance.
If you need more detailed estate planning support, we suggest contacting a local solicitor or public trustee so that your paperwork is in order.
Once you’ve completed your Will, please let us know so we can welcome you and keep you updated on our work.
We have partnered with Australia’s top online Will-writing platform, Gathered Here. You have the opportunity to write your Will for free (plus free updates for life).
Your decision to make a gift provision in your Will is deeply valued and you can change your mind at any time. Rest assured that your gift will be honoured with the respect and sensitivity it deserves. You and your family can also be kept informed about our work and how your contribution will help create a world where children are protected and have the opportunity to reach their full potential. We are focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for children, their families and the wider community. We believe in keeping administration costs down so more funds can go to implementing programs that lift children and communities out of poverty and help them become safe, healthy and empowered.
