• We understand that your Will is a personal matter. We will always respect your privacy

• If you have decided to leave a gift in your Will, we would love to thank you. However, there's no need to notify us
• We recognise you have the absolute right to change your mind about a gift in your Will, at any time.

We recommend that you discuss the type of bequest you intend to make with your family and solicitor before you finalise your Will.

• Residual gift—is the remainder of your estate after considering your loved ones and expenses have been deducted.
• Pecuniary gift—is a gift of a specific amount, such as $5,000.
• Specific gift—you can also specify which area you would like your bequest to assist— for example, Cancer, Burns, Research, Cardiology, etc.
• Asset or assets

Here's an example of the type of wording to use in your Will for your solicitor.

“I give to the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation, ABN 72 003 073 185, being for Bear Cottage,

The residue of my estate (or __% of the residue of my estate), or

The whole of my estate (or __% of my estate), or

The sum of $___,

List of asset or assets.

for which the receipt of the Treasurer or another authorised officer shall be an absolute discharge.”

Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation (the Foundation) raises funds for the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network and is registered with the Australian Tax Office as a Health Promotion Charity with Item 1 Deductible Gift Recipient status.

There is no legal obligation to notify us of your intended gift. However, if you choose to inform us of your intentions we can:

• Plan for future research investment and the purchase of vital equipment
• Plan for the development of services to meet the needs of seriously ill children
• Provide you with information and updates on hospital and research achievements
• Invite you to events for face-to-face updates from clinical and research staff.

All correspondence is treated in confidence.
