Leave a gift in your Will

You can be assured that what you bequest to Vinnies will be used to improve the lives of those less fortunate in a practical and tangible way, gifts in wills are treated by us with the respect this significant act deserves.

For bequests that are untied (not for a specific purpose), we have a robust decision process that ensures these important funds are invested wisely and strategically to ensure the maximum benefit results from this legacy. These untied bequests also provide for the greatest flexibility to enable us to respond to future challenges and methods of support in the future as they arise.

Alternately you may choose to leave a bequest for a specific purpose or community in which we operate.

Create a Free Will between 4-10 September

We have extended our collaboration with Safewill to create a free will (normally costing $160) until September 10th.

Safewill is continuing to allow our supporters the chance to create a valid will that is quick and easy to complete, with the option of leaving a gift to support Vinnies good works well into the future.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to leave a lasting legacy to the ones you love and the wider community. Safewill can be accessed via this link.
