Your will is a powerful tool for generations to come.
Giving through your will is more than passing on wealth. It’s an act of generosity that nurtures people and communities, creating lasting, positive change.
Why leave a charitable gift?
By making a bequest, whether it’s big or small, your generosity could help with;
Funding medical research and providing access to healthcare,
Protecting and preserving New Zealand’s natural habitats, wildlife, and ecosystems,
Providing shelters, rescue operations, and improving the lives of animals,
Supporting organisations that provide assistance to individuals and families facing challenges,
Supporting New Zealand’s cultural institutions, arts and education programmes.
