Create your legacy in our community

Step 1 - Talk to the people you trust

Speak to your family and / or friends about your intention to leave a gift in your will, so that everyone is on the same page

Step 2 - Select your Cause (s)

Decide how you want your fund to be used – for specific organisations or causes or for general purposes. Your legacy can target something you are passionate about or simply be used at a future time to respond to unforeseen community challenges or opportunities.

Step 3 - Name your Fund

Would you like to give the Fund your name or your family’s name or it can be named after something that is meaningful to you. It can also be anonymous and go into an existing Fund focused on a particular cause.

Step 4 - Make your bequest

This is about adding some particular wording into your new or existing will which specifies how much the gift is and how it should be used. Seek legal advice to make sure your intention is correctly captured and will have the impact you envisage.
