A gift in your will, also known as a bequest, is one of the most lasting ways to back the young people of Hepburn Shire. Whatever its size, it stays here, supporting local students, families and schools for years to come.
Why it lasts
Gifts in wills help grow our Forever Fund, a permanent fund that earns income for local support every year. It held $1.92 million at June 30 2026, and we’re building it to $5 million by 2030.
Our founders, Jim and Norma Foster, cover our running costs, so your gift goes to the community, not to administration.
How to include us
You can leave a set amount, a percentage of your estate, or what remains once your loved ones are looked after. Every gift counts. We recommend talking to your solicitor or will-writer and sharing this wording with them:
Suggested wording for your will
“I give [the residue of my estate / ___% of my estate / the sum of $___] to [Full legal name] (ABN [number]) for its general purposes.”
Your solicitor will adapt this to suit your will.
Let us know
If you’ve included us in your will, or you’re thinking about it, we’d love to thank you personally. There’s no obligation, and anything you share stays private.
