Bequest wording

Leaving the Foundation a Bequest in your Will will help us to work wonders for sick kids. It will give our precious kids the best chance of healthy life. It will make a difference in the lives of thousands of sick and injured kids and their families right around Queensland and beyond.

Your bequest will enable us to continue to invest in life-saving paediatric research programs, children's entertainment and volunteer services thereby working wonders for sick kids.

Don't forget about us

There are a number of different ways you can remember the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation in your Will:

  • Bequeath your assets no matter how large or small
  • Bequest a sum of money, shares or life insurance policies, which can be for general use
  • Leave a percentage of your estate, which means that any other beneficiaries will not
    be disadvantaged if the value of your estate changes in any way
  • Leave a residual gift, which takes effect after all other specific gifts have been given
  • Establish a Trust
