By remembering Centenary in your Will, you would be ensuring that we can continue to fund word class medical breakthroughs that will ultimately change the lives of future generations. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference.
Leaving a gift to the Centenary Institute
When making a Will, the first priority is to talk to your loved ones about your intentions and let them know that leaving a gift to medical research is important to you. This can help to ensure that your personal legacy and wishes will be met.
Your bequest will depend on your personal and family circumstances, and it is important to seek independent and professional advice. Following that, it’s easy to make a bequest to the Centenary Institute. You can either include the bequest when you write or update your Will, or simply add one as a codicil to your existing Will.
