Include a gift in your Will to help ensure more children have the childhood they deserve.
A gift in your Will
One of the most impactful ways you can support children is by pledging a gift in your Will to ChildFund Australia. It won’t cost anything now, but it will help more children have the childhood they deserve.
Why give?
A gift in your Will provides resources for children living in vulnerable situations. This flexibility increases our capacity to respond to changing crises and priorities, like support for children affected by climate change or those caught up in conflicts. Whether it’s setting up safe places for play after natural disasters or preventing, you’re a gift in your Will can make a visible, lasting impact.
3 Steps to a gift in your Will
Step 1. Decide what gift to leave
Step 1. Decide what gift to leave-
-
- A residual gift – This is the most effective option where you specify a portion of your estate (after specific gifts are distributed and your debts are paid) that you want set aside for ChildFund. This is a simple way to leave a gift that won’t interfere with any specific gifts to loved ones. It will also retain its value over time.
- A specific amount – Nothing will affect this amount, but the amount will also not grow over time, though you can always still update your Will in the future.
- A percentage – This is a percentage of your estate to be left to ChildFund.
-
Step 2. Make your Will
No matter the size, your gift in Will is a step closer to a world where all children and young people can say: “I am safe. I am educated. I contribute. I have a future”.
Step 3. Talk to your loved ones.
