Leave a gift in your Will
You can leave a lasting legacy with a gift in your Will. It’s a personal decision, often made over time – and one that can reflect your values long into the future.
A bequest is a gift left in your Will. Making a bequest to Federation University is a great way to create a lasting legacy. Your gift can contribute to teaching and research that supports regional Australia, making a real impact where it matters. And because needs change over time, it can also go toward the areas that need it most in the future, helping the University respond and adapt as priorities evolve.
How to leave a gift in your Will
- Residuary: a gift of all or part of what remains of your estate after debts, expenses, taxes and any other gifts have been paid.
- Pecuniary: a gift of a nominated sum of money.
- Specific: a gift of a particular asset, such as property, shares or personal items.
- Percentage: a gift of a nominated percentage of your estate, or a nominated percentage of the residue of your estate.
Consider a cause that is meaningful to you. It might be a scholarship, a specific discipline or research project, or a new building or facility. If you'd like to discuss ideas, email foundation@federation.edu.au. Any information you share with Federation about your intentions will be treated confidentially and used for planning and stewardship purposes only.
Contact an external organisation to get advice about how to update your Will and what wording to include.
Email foundation@federation.edu.au to let us know what you've decided to do. This will give us the opportunity to say thanks and welcome you to our donor community. It will also help us implement your wishes. Remember – sending us details of your bequest doesn't create a legal obligation, and you can change your Will or your intentions at any time.
