LEAVE A GIFT
IN YOUR WILL.
By leaving a gift in your Will to Community First Development you can help improve the lives of First Nations people.
Leave a gift in your Will
By leaving a gift in your Will to Community First Development you are making a significant contribution towards the empowerment of First Nations people and communities.
Making a bequest is the most personal way you can support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Your thoughtful gift will make a significant contribution towards the empowerment of First Nations people and their communities, supporting them to drive their own long-term, sustainable change.
All gifts, no matter the size, are greatly valued and significantly assist us in our future planning.
It’s an incredible legacy and a way for you to make a positive impact for generations to come!
Have you informed us of your gift?
If you decide to include a gift to Community First Development in your Will, please consider letting us know. We would welcome the opportunity to thank you for your generosity, and to share inspiring stories from Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities with you.
We would be honoured to make you a member of our Silver Leaf Society, where you will join our very special group of supporters, people who share our vision.
Contact Alicia, Key Supporter and Bequest Coordinator, who would love to hear from you by calling her on 1800 639 565 for a confidential, no obligation chat.
HOW TO REMEMBER US IN YOUR WILL
A Percentage
This is often regarded as the most flexible way to give as you don’t have to adjust the value of your gift to account for inflation or changes to your total assets.
The Residue
This is a gift of whatever is left in your estate after you have taken care of your loved ones.
Fixed Amount
Leaving a specific sum - this type of bequest may need to be changed over the years to account for inflation and changes to your circumstances.
