Personal story

Why I decided to include the Foundation in my Will

Robert is one of our long-term supporters, and is particularly committed to the grants and scholarship programs. Here, he shares his views on charitable giving and the transformative power of a bequest.

A gift in your Will can make a world of difference to the work we do, giving hope and support to those who need a helping hand.

How to leave a gift in your Will

Step 1: Speak to your family and loved ones

We recommend letting your family know that you are planning to leave a gift to the Sisters of Charity Foundation, so they are aware of your decision.

Step 2: Decide what kind of gift to leave

There are three main ways to do this:

  1. Residual – make a gift of the remainder, or a percentage of the remainder, of your estate once your loved ones and expenses have been taken care of.
  2. Percentage – leave a percentage of your estate to the Foundation. This gives longevity to your Will because your gift won’t be influenced by inflation or changes in the value of your estate.
  3. Specific – you may nominate a specific sum of money in your Will.

Step 3: Speak to a solicitor

We recommend that you always consult a solicitor before writing or updating your Will.

Step 4: Wording your Will

To include your gift to the Sisters of Charity Foundation when you write or update your Will, please give the following wording to your solicitor:

I [name] Give and Bequest to the Sisters of Charity Foundation (ABN: 99 342 873 237) of Level 7, 35 Grafton Street Bondi Junction NSW 2022 to be applied for the purposes and objects of the Sisters of Charity Foundation:

  1. The remainder of my estate in whatever form, after payment of any debts, liabilities and taxes and after the provisions of my Will (for my family, friends and others) have been fully paid and/or satisfied.
  2. [insert percentage here] % of my real estate property known as [insert address] (or shares or debentures or other assets as the case may be).
  3. The sum of $[insert amount here].

If you wish you can also specify the purpose to which you would like your gift to be put.
