Welcome Back!

You have Gifts for Good in your basket.

Welcome Back!

Last time you were here, you were looking to help vulnerable children and families. Your support can save and change lives.

Include a gift in your Will to help create a healthier and safer future for children.

Including a gift in your Will helps bring us a step closer to a world free from childhood poverty.

Every gift left in a Will produces a chain reaction: your legacy will have a lasting impact on children living in disadvantaged communities around the world. Together, we can create a healthier and safer future for all children.

If you need more detailed estate planning support, we suggest contacting a local solicitor or public trustee so that your paperwork is in order. If you decide to include a gift to ChildFund Australia in your Will, all you or your solicitor needs is our name and ABN: ChildFund Australia / ABN: 79 002 885 761. Here is some suggested wording which you can take to your solicitor for guidance.

Once you’ve completed your Will, please let us know so we can welcome you and keep you updated on our work.

It takes less than 10 minutes to create your legacy!

We have partnered with Australia’s top online Will-writing platform, Gathered Here. You have the opportunity to write your Will for free (plus free updates for life).

Why choose Childfund Australia to leave a Gift in your will?

Your decision to make a gift provision in your Will is deeply valued and you can change your mind at any time. Rest assured that your gift will be honoured with the respect and sensitivity it deserves. You and your family can also be kept informed about our work and how your contribution will help create a world where children are protected and have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We are focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for children, their families and the wider community. We believe in keeping administration costs down so more funds can go to implementing programs that lift children and communities out of poverty and help them become safe, healthy and empowered.

Out of ChildFund Australia’s total expenditure in 2022-23:

81%

of funds went towards implementing or running international programs, and educating communities about our work and its impact.

13%

was invested in activities to raise funds to support our program work.

6%

was spent on administration and accountability costs that are necessary to efficiently run the work we do. It includes staff costs for finance and organisational development, as well as audit fees and insurance.

    Frequently Asked questions

    A Gift-in-Will, also known as a bequest, is a charitable gift included in your Will. By including a gift to ChildFund Australia, you’re helping to create a healthier, safer future for all children. We will make sure your gift has the greatest possible impact for children, their families and communities. 

    It’s entirely up to you whether you let us know if you’ve included a gift in your Will to ChildFund Australia. However, we’d love the chance to thank you personally and keep you informed about how your gift will continue to impact children’s lives around the world.   

    When you include a gift in your Will to ChildFund Australia, you’ll become part of the Healthy Futures Fund – a community of supporters dedicated to creating a healthier future for all children. If you wish, we’ll keep you updated on the impact your gift is having, so you can see the difference it’s making. 

    No matter the size, every gift brings us closer to a world free from poverty, where every child is safe, educated and healthy. Whatever your circumstances, a gift in your Will can make a lasting impact on the lives of children in need. 

    A flexible Gift-in-Will allows us to direct your gift where it will have the greatest impact. This flexibility helps us respond quickly to children in crisis, adapt to changing needs and create sustainable, long-term improvements for children and their communities around the world.

    It may be helpful to have a conversation with ChildFund Australia’s Philanthropy Team to make sure your gift is used as you intended.
