Your life is dedicated to caring for family, enjoying friends and sharing in all your community offers. However, have you stopped to consider how you can continue to nurture your community even after you are gone?
Leaving a gift in your Will to Mummy’s Wish, no matter how large or small is a powerful way to show your support for mums with cancer now and into the future.
Each year we would like to extend the Mummy’s Wish service and reach and support more and more mums that need us. With your help we can do this by providing practical support and information to mums in the fight of their life and helping create beautiful moments for mums facing the end of their life.
Call us on 1300 045 741 for more information or email fundraising@mummyswish.org.au.
How to leave a gift in your will
Mummy's Wish is registered with Safewill, an online platform that makes creating your Will simple. Instead of finding time in your busy schedule to visit an expensive lawyer, Safewill guides you through the steps to creating your Will in your own time. You can create and update your Will online, having it reviewed and finalised, and choose to leave a gift to Mummy's Wish as part of the process.
Alternatively, you can discuss your wishes with your solicitor. They will be able to advise on how to word your bequest, as well as ensuring you allow for your other wishes to be fulfilled.
It doesn’t take long to make a difference—a simple Will can take as little as one hour to do.
Types of gifts
- Residual gift is the remainder of your estate after considering your loved ones and expenses have been deducted.
- Pecuniary gift is a gift of a specific amount, such as $5,000.
Wording suggestions
Here’s an example of the type of wording to use in your will which you can bring to your solicitor.
“I give and bequeath to Mummy’s Wish
- The residue of my estate (or __% of the residue of my estate), or
- The whole of my estate (or __% of my estate), or
- The sum of $___,
for which the receipt of the Treasurer or another authorised officer shall be an absolute discharge.”
Let us know
There is no legal obligation to notify us of your intended gift. However, if you choose to inform us of your intentions we can:
- Plan for the development of services to meet the needs of mums with cancer
- Provide you with information and updates on our achievements.
Mummy’s Wish is a registered not-for-profit charity and endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as a deductible gift recipient for tax purposes.
