Gifts in Wills
When you choose to include a gift in your Will to Vinnies, you join a community of our most loyal and valued supporters.
“I have included a gift in my Will to Vinnies because, as a long-time volunteer, I have seen first-hand the good work they do. I have a roof over my head, food to eat, and a warm bed to climb into at the end of each day. I choose to show my gratitude and help Vinnies to continue their good work by way of a gift in my Will. Together we can help change lives not only now but for generations to come.”
Most common gift types our supporters choose from:
Once you have taken care of your loved ones, you can leave a share of, or the remainder of your estate to us. This is called a residuary gift.
You can choose to leave us a specific item, such as jewellery, shares or even a property when making a Will. This is called a specific gift.
You can choose to leave us a specific amount of money in your Will. This is called a pecuniary gift

“Including a bequest in my will is just one small way in which I can assist those Australians who are less fortunate and greatly disadvantaged by their circumstances,” Barry says.

“I get the magazine from Vinnies as a donor, and I see what they do at the Matthew Talbot Hostel and the people there, and the women who’ve been sleeping in cars and all that sort of thing, and I think oh, gosh, you know, if I can help in some way," says Doreen.
Vince
During his lifetime Vince worked tirelessly for the community, which involved volunteering at the Mathew Talbot Hostel, visiting inmates at Long Bay Gaol, making hospital and home visits to the sick and needy, and organising and distributing Christmas hampers for poor families and pensioners. His generous donation means his legacy lives on in the work done by the Society.
