We invite you to join our special community of supporters who have chosen to leave a gift in their Will to support our future conservation work.
Every gift, large or small, is appreciated and makes a difference to our capacity to stand up in defence of our beautiful natural world, forever.
Once you have provided for your loved ones, please consider including a gift in your Will to Bob Brown Foundation.
We are the community taking action for Earth. Let a gift in your Will be your living legacy.
Once you’ve considered the people and charities you’d like to remember, and who you’d like to appoint as your executor (the person who will look after your estate), we recommend engaging a solicitor or trustee to write your Will.
This is the best way to ensure that your intentions will be upheld and that your estate will be distributed correctly.
If you do not have a solicitor, the Law Society or Institute in your State or Territory can refer you to one in your area.
Alternatively, if your estate is relatively straight-forward, you may like to consider writing your Will online with our online will-writing partner, Safewill.
Please note, Bob Brown Foundation does not provide legal advice. Any referral to an Online Will provider does not constitute legal advice, or an endorsement that an Online Will is suitable for your needs.
Always seek independent legal advice when changing or updating your Will, including an online Will.
You can choose how you would like to leave your gift, including:
A residual gift. This is the simplest way to support our conservation work into the future. After providing for your loved ones and paying all debts, you can leave the remainder of your estate (or a percentage of the remainder) to Bob Brown Foundation. This type of gift has the advantage of guarding against the effects of inflation.
A cash gift. You can leave a specified dollar amount – but please remember that, over time, the real value of a cash bequest may reduce because of inflation.
Specific assets. You can leave property such as real estate, shares or anything of value. Bob Brown Foundation can also be the sole beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
A gift that supports Bob Brown Foundation’s general purposes gives us the most flexibility to respond to the greatest need at the time it comes into effect. However, it you would like to direct your gift to a specific purpose, please contact us first so that we can ensure that your wishes can be fulfilled, and that your gift will have the impact you intend.
A gift in your Will is a powerful way to ensure that the wild places and wildlife you care about are protected into the future.
After taking care of your loved ones, your legacy can help strengthen the movement defending Earth for years to come.
