Leaving a gift in your Will is a wonderful way to leave an ongoing legacy in your name after you’ve gone.
Leaving a gift, no matter how large or small, will make a real difference towards creating a world without hunger.
It will fund projects that support women’s empowerment, ending the forced marriage of girls and health clinics that save lives.
What a beautiful expression of a life well lived, and well shared.
Veronica, aged 72 from Ghana, has witnessed the progress in her village since The Hunger Project, in collaboration with the Adonkwanta community, embarked on their journey to Self-Reliance, which they reached Self-Reliance in 2022.
“We now have a bank, a health clinic, and recently, we even got internet access. In the past, making ends meet was sometimes a challenge for me.”
“Through agricultural training, the yield from my land has increased. I learned to plant my corn more efficiently and started practicing organic farming.”
Making or changing your will to include a gift to The Hunger Project Australia could be as simple as contacting your legal advisor, or you can create a free will online.
It is important that your bequest gift is worded correctly, and the following is recommended as a guide. You may give this wording to your solicitor who is preparing your Will.
“I give to The Hunger Project Australia, ABN 45 002 569 271,
for which the receipt of the Treasurer or other authorised officer shall be an absolute discharge.”
The remainder of your estate after considering your loved ones and the deduction of expenses
A percentage of either the residue or the entire estate, such as 25% of estate
A gift of a specific amount, such as $10,000
This could be property or shares
You can create or update your Will through a range of legally valid options, including an estate planning professional, the Public or State Trustee in your State, or a self-guided online Will-writing platform.
Online Will-writing platforms, such as EveryWill are designed to make writing your Will as easy as possible, through a secure step-by-step process. Whilst it’s not a requirement when writing your online Will, leaving a gift to The Hunger Project Australia is a lasting and meaningful way that you can not only future-proof our important work, but leave a legacy for the generations to come. Leaving even a small share of your estate, after your loved ones have been taken care of, can have a huge impact.
For complex estate planning, we recommend seeking professional legal advice when creating or updating your Will.
Your legacy will help create a world without hunger, now and for future generations.
Working together, we can make the world better, fairer and more equitable for every person; no matter where they were born or their gender.
