Why make a bequest?
Your legacy will help us continue our work for generations to come. A bequest also enables us to acknowledge your generosity during your lifetime and keep you informed of our progress.
What types of charitable bequest can I make?
When making a charitable bequest you may choose to leave:
- a specific sum of money
- a percentage of your estate
- a residual bequest (whatever is left after all other gifts and costs have been deducted from your estate)
- a gift of property, shares or insurance policies
Ask your legal adviser about the variety of charitable requests you can make.
How do I make NCC a beneficiary in my will?
We suggest using the following wording in your will, but it is also important to check with your legal adviser:
"I devise and bequeath to the Nature Conservation Council of NSW Inc, free of all taxes and other deductions [amount and/or type of bequest] to be used for the general purposes of the council, and the receipt of the secretary or other proper officer of the said council shall be sufficient discharge to my trustee."
