Why leave a charity bequest in your Will?

Including a bequest to World Vision in your Will is a powerful way to create long-lasting change for the most vulnerable children of the future. Generous gift in Will supporters make a difference in the lives of children by providing access to the most basic necessities in life, such as food, water, education, healthcare and protection – fundamentals that every child deserves.

Supporters who leave bequests to World Vision create a life-changing legacy that can help transform the world for generations to come. Your gift in Will can be used to support World Vision programs overseas and in First Nations communities here in Australia, directed towards the children and communities who need help the most. Contact our Bequests Team to learn more about leaving a gift in your Will. 

How do bequests to World Vision make a difference?

By leaving a gift in Will to World Vision, everyday Australians are empowering vulnerable children around the world to thrive. Your bequest will be used to support long-term, although finite, projects focused on equipping communities with the tools to ensure their children can enjoy life in its fullness. This includes building the skills and knowledge of local leaders and community groups so they can continue the progress you helped to start long after World Vision moves on.



“I would encourage anyone who can to leave a bequest to World Vision … there is so much need, the more of us who help out, the better.” – Gordon Lambert, Gift in Will supporter

“I am pleased to see my money going towards things like life skills, wells for clean water and loans for farming equipment. It made great sense.” – Dianne Roennfeldt, Gift in Will supporter

“It feels really good to be a part of this and to know that I’m creating a legacy of goodwill for future generations of children.” – Andrew Stephenson, Gift in Will supporter

“Charities need as much help as they can get to carry on their work. Even people on a budget like me can do it.” – Tonya Hooper, Gift in Will supporter
