You can make a difference Regardless of age or assets everyone should have a Will. It is the only legal way of ensuring that your wishes are carried out. A number of glaucoma sufferers and friends of Glaucoma Australia have already provided for our Association through their Wills. We hope that you might give some thought to providing for the future of Glaucoma Australia in this way. Below is a suggested Form of Bequest. You will note that it mentions providing a specific sum of money, but it would also be possible, of course, to make the bequest in the form of a specified proportion of your estate. In view of the declining value of the dollar over a number of years, some benefactors prefer to ask their solicitor to draw up their Will in this way. The Council of Glaucoma Australia has decided that, wherever possible, money received from Bequests will be placed in a special account to build up funds for research into glaucoma. Your solicitor will probably want to know that we are an authorised charity (Authorised No CFN 10589) and have exemption from Australian Income Tax for gifts to the Association. This exemption does not include testamentary gifts, as of course they are not made from income. We will be very happy to supply any other details about the Association that may be needed. Please print this form.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
