A legacy for good | Leaving a bequest in your will

Leaving a gift in your Will to the St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria costs nothing today but has a lasting impact on future generations.

Your legacy ensures our good works

Vinnies VIC: Much of the good work we do is made possible by generous people like you. People who remember us in their Will.

Your legacy ensures our good works 

Your Legacy

<h4>One of the most important sources of funding for the St Vincent de Paul Society comes from people that have included a gift in their Will. Leaving a gift in your Will is a simple, yet powerful way to help people in need.&nbsp;</h4>
<p>We believe that by offering a caring hand up and not a hand out to the disadvantaged and homeless people of Victoria, we can restore their hope and encourage them to take control of their destiny.</p>
<p>For more than 170 years, the St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia has been assisting people experiencing poverty and disadvantage.</p>
<p>In Victoria, the St Vincent de Paul Society continues to serve those in need regardless of creed, ethnic or social background, health, gender or political opinions.</p>
<p>Much of the good work we do is made possible by the generous people who remember us in their Will. &nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Your lasting legacy.</strong>&nbsp;Leaving a gift in your Will can help us house, feed, clothe and assist people struggling or facing crisis.</li>
<li><strong>Your gift will restore hope.</strong>&nbsp;Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. You don’t need to be wealthy to leave a gift, a minimal percentage of your estate can have a lasting impact.</li>
<li><strong>Your gift will go to people in need.</strong> Our volunteer member base of 10,000+ people keeps administration costs low. This means your funds can be directed where they are needed most.</li>
<li><strong>We are here to help.</strong> For further information or to discuss this very personal decision further.</li>
</ul>
