Remembering The Kids' Cancer Project in your will

The process

Leaving a gift in your will, also known as a bequest, is a relatively simple thing to do however there a few things you need to know first. Here's a helpful checklist:

1. It is important to check with your solicitor that your will is valid i.e. signed, dated, correctly witnessed and complies with the laws in your home state or territory.
2. If you have an existing will and would like to include a bequest to support our work you can easily add in a codicil, essentially a note, expressing your wish. Please note any codicil needs to be signed, dated and correctly witnessed so it’s a good idea to check with your solicitor that it is correct and therefore legal.
3. To ensure we receive your bequest it is essential to include our correct name and ABN:
   The Kids’ Cancer Project (make sure to include the apostrophe on Kids’).
   ABN: 13 061 138 181
4. If you have family and/or close friends, it’s a good idea to let them know that you are leaving a bequest to support research into childhood cancer. They will then know this is your express wish and will be more likely to support your charitable gift.

A surprise is nice, but knowing is better

By advising The Kids’ Cancer Project you have a left a bequest in your will, we will be able to update you on our achievements and outcomes, invite you to special events and ensure you are appropriately acknowledged (or kept anonymous if you prefer).

By making such an important gift you will play a big role in providing a brighter future for Australian children diagnosed cancer along with their families.

We also want to ensure you are recognised for your generosity, so once your bequest is finalised please call us on 1800 651 158 or send an email to info@tkcp.org.au. 

We can’t wait to thank you!
