Welcome Back!

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

A Gift-in-Will, also referred to as a bequest, is a charitable gift that is included in your Will. Including a gift in your Will to ChildFund Australia is a powerful tool for creating a healthier, safer future for all children. We will ensure your gift has the greatest impact for children, their families and their communities.

Expendable gifts are used in their entirety during a specific period of time. Gifts to an emergency, for example, are expendable. Some larger expendable gifts are used over longer periods for 3-5 years.

Endowment refers to funds meant to exist in perpetuity. These gifts are invested for the long term and intended to provide a permanent source of financial support for ChildFund Australia. Each year, a portion of the fund is paid out, usually about 5 percent, and used for the purposes the donor and ChildFund Australia agreed upon when the gift was made.
