Leave a Bequest

Leaving a bequest is a powerful statement of values and intention. With your gift to the Victorian Women’s Trust, you will be uplifting future generations, ensuring that gender equality continues to progress, benefitting the entire community.

How to make a gift to the Victorian Women’s Trust in your Will:

Step 1. Reflect on your values

A Will is so much more than a legal document. It’s your opportunity to recognise your loved ones and the values that you hold dear. Take time to reflect on what would be meaningful for you.

Step 2. Talk to loved ones

Share your decision with your friends and family.

Step 3. Select the gift that suits you best

There are a few ways you can include the Victorian Women’s Trust in your Will. You may choose to give part of your estate; select a percentage amount; specify a gift amount; or you may wish to make a residuary gift.

Suggested wording:

I give _________________ to the following nominated beneficiary:

The Victorian Women’s Trust Limited to be applied for the general purposes of improving the status of women and girls. I declare that the receipt of the secretary, treasurer or other proper officer of the nominated beneficiary will be a full discharge for my trustee who will not be bound to see its application.

If you are considering including a gift for the Victorian Women’s Trust in your Will, we encourage you to speak with Dr. Kirsten Abernethy (Executive Director, Victorian Women’s Trust).
