“I have been a very proud supporter of Connecting2Ability for almost 20 years. I know that any money donated to C2A will be put to good use by helping people with disability to live dignified lives. That’s why I chose to include to C2A in my will. I know that my bequest will provide real world impact and opportunities for people with disability long after I’m gone.”

How do I leave a gift in my will?
Step 1. Decide on your gift
We recommend consulting a solicitor, or using our FREE charity Will service EveryWill.
You can choose to leave:
A percentage of your estate (e.g. 10%). This ensures the value of your gift is realised over time keeping in line with inflation.
A specific amount (e.g. $10,000)
A particular asset (e.g. property, shares, valuables)
The residue of your estate (what remains after other gifts and expenses are settled)
Step 2. Use the correct wording
To include Connecting2Ability in your Will, you may wish to consider the following clauses:
“I give and bequeath to Connecting2Ability ABN 67 877 349 510 the sum of $[amount] / [percentage]% of my estate / the residue of my estate, to be used for its general purposes. A receipt from an authorised officer of Connecting2Ability will be sufficient to show my executors have fulfilled their duty.”
