Hopefield Legacy Fund
You may hear different terms used – leaving a gift in your Will, a bequest, legacy giving, or Benevolent Fund.
At Hopefield, these all speak to the same idea: choosing to extend your care for others into the future, through a gift that continues beyond your lifetime.
The Hopefield Legacy Fund is how those gifts are held and stewarded.
A Gift That Costs Nothing Today
Leaving a gift in your will doesn’t require you to give anything now.
It’s a simple decision you can make while still taking care of your loved ones and your own needs. Many people choose to leave a small percentage of their estate, or a specific gift, knowing it will one day help others flourish.
Your legacy can live on – quietly and meaningfully.
Gifts to the Hopefield Legacy Fund are:
- Held with deep respect and care
- Used to support individuals and families experiencing hardship
- Directed to where support is needed most, especially when other funding is not available
This allows Hopefield to respond with flexibility and compassion – ensuring no one is turned away when they need support.
Types of Bequests
There are several ways to remember Hopefield in your will, including:
- A residuary bequest – leaving a percentage of your estate
- A specific bequest – a nominated sum of money
- A gift of an asset – such as property or shares
Your solicitor can help you decide what feels right for you.
Suggested Wording
If you’d like to include Hopefield in your will, the following wording may be helpful:
“I give to Hopefield [insert full legal name] ABN [insert ABN]
- the sum of $___ , or
- ___% of my estate, or
- the residue of my estate
free of all duties, to be applied for its general charitable purposes.”
We strongly encourage you to seek independent legal advice when preparing or updating your will.
