Imagine a future where mental health is understood, supported, and championed – where no one faces their struggles alone. By including a gift to the Whau Mental Health Research Foundation in your will, you can help make this vision a reality.
Why Leave a Gift in Your Will?
A gift in your will ensures your compassion endures, funding vital research and community programs that improve mental health for generations to come. Whether large or small, every contribution makes a lasting impact.
Your Gift, Your Legacy
Leaving a legacy gift is a deeply personal decision. It’s an opportunity to reflect your values and create a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Gifts can take many forms:
Residual gift: A percentage of your estate after other bequests are fulfilled. For example 10% of your estate.
Specific gift: A set amount of money, property, or valuable items.
Contingent gift: A gift dependent on certain circumstances, like other beneficiaries predeceasing you.
How to Include Whau Mental Health Research Foundation in Your Will
Including a charitable gift in your Will is simple and an example of the wording that you could use in your will is:
“I give to the Whau Mental Health Research Foundation, registered charity number CC10497, free of all duties [a specific sum / X% of my estate / the residue of my estate], to be used for its general purposes, provided that if that charity has been amalgamated with another charity such gift will not fail but my Trustees shall pay it to the amalgamated charity.”
We do, however, recommend that you discuss with a legal professional to ensure that your wishes are clearly recorded.
Why Choose Whau Mental Health Research Foundation?
For over 57 years, the Whau Mental Health Research Foundation has been dedicated to advancing mental health outcomes through:
Pioneering Research: Funding the brightest minds to explore innovative approaches to understanding and treating mental health conditions.
Fostering Innovation: Supporting groundbreaking projects that push the boundaries of mental health science and care.
Advocacy for Change: Championing policies and awareness that drive meaningful improvements in mental health support and understanding.
By leaving a gift in your will, you become a vital part of this mission.
Can I Support a Specific Area of Mental Health?
Absolutely. If there’s a particular area of mental health close to your heart, such as depression research, community inclusion, or innovative therapies, then you can provide a gift in your will for that specific area. If this is something you are interested in, please contact us to discuss – it’s important to confirm that we can carry out your wishes.
