Why leave a gift in my Will to World Vision?
You can transform the lives of the next generation of children and communities living in extreme poverty by including a gift in your Will. Since 1974 we have worked hard to make sure all resources entrusted to us are used as efficiently and effectively as possible to bring maximum impact to children and communities in need. We have strong checks and balances in place to ensure your money goes where we say it will.
What does legacy, bequest, and estate mean?
A gift in your Will, legacy or bequest refers to the property or money that you promise in your Will to give to another person, organisation or charity after you die. Your estate means the whole of your property and assets at the time of your death.
Can a gift in my Will support my sponsored child?
It's not possible to specify that your future gift goes to support your sponsored child. As it may be many years before your gift becomes a reality, we want to make sure your gift goes where it’s needed most at the time. This means that as our work evolves to better serve children and families in the world’s toughest places, your gift can evolve with it.
Do I need to tell you that I've included World Vision in my Will?
We encourage you to let us know if you have included a gift to World Vision New Zealand to help us plan for the future with confidence. We want to thank you, welcome you to our Visionaries Group and keep you or your trustees informed of the impact gifts in Wills are making now. If you wish to remain anonymous, this will be honoured.
