Gifts in Wills | Canberra Hospital Foundation

How will you make your mark on the world?

Leaving a gift in your Will, no matter how big or small, can be a powerful way to make a real difference. You can improve and save the lives of future generations in the wider Canberra community.

It is a good idea to talk with your family about your Will and gift, or you may prefer to leave a written statement with your will explaining your reasons for giving to charity.

Your legacy will help fund research, purchasing state-of-the-art treatment technology and equipment, as well as life-giving clinical trials and therapeutic wellness programs for patients. You can help ease the suffering of patients and help them get the best care available.

We understand that leaving a gift in your Will is a very personal decision and your loved ones should always come first. Once you have taken care of the special people in your life, please consider including a gift to the Canberra Hospital Foundation in your Will.

It is important for everyone to have a valid Will. As part of your estate planning, you may consider recognising the impact a charity has had – perhaps work that has directly influenced you or a cause you believe in and see as vital for future generations.

On behalf of everyone whose lives have been touched by Canberra Health Services and the work of the Canberra Hospital Foundation, a heartfelt thank you for considering a gift in your Will to the Canberra Hospital Foundation.
