By leaving a gift in your Will to White Ribbon Australia, you can support prevention work for generations to come and help create a future free from gendered violence. Your lasting legacy will help more people learn, act and challenge the attitudes and conditions that allow men’s violence against women to continue.
White Ribbon Australia works to address the attitudes, behaviours and social conditions that contribute to men’s violence against women.
A gift in your Will can help make long-term prevention work possible. Your generosity can support education, practical resources, community campaigns and programs that give people the knowledge and confidence to create change.
White Ribbon Australia does not receive government funding. We rely on the generosity of individuals, families, workplaces and communities to fund our prevention work.
By including White Ribbon Australia in your Will, you can help ensure this work continues for years to come.
Preparing a Will is an important opportunity to provide for the people you care about and record how you would like your estate to be distributed.
Once you have considered your family, friends and other responsibilities, you may choose to include a gift to White Ribbon Australia.
Every gift is valued. You do not need to leave a large amount to contribute to lasting change. Gifts of different types and sizes can collectively help prevention programs reach more people and communities.
You may choose to leave:
A percentage of your estate
A nominated percentage of your estate can be left to White Ribbon Australia while allowing you to provide for the people who are important to you.
The remainder of your estate
You can leave all or part of what remains after your other gifts, debts and estate expenses have been addressed.
A specific amount
You can nominate a particular sum of money to be given to White Ribbon Australia.
A particular asset
You may choose to leave an asset such as property, shares or another item of value.
Your solicitor or legal adviser can explain these options and help you choose an approach that is appropriate for your circumstances.
A gift in your Will may help White Ribbon Australia:
Prevention is long-term work. Gifts in Wills can give White Ribbon Australia greater capacity to plan ahead, respond to emerging needs and continue reaching people across Australia.
