How do I give a gift to Compassion in my will?

By including a gift to Compassion in your will, you have the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on the lives of children living in poverty around the world.

There are different types of gifts you can include in your will.

  • A residuary gift: a gift of all or a portion of what is left in your estate after specific gifts, taxes and debts are fulfilled.
  • A specific gift: a gift of a particular item of property which can be used by Compassion to generate funds, such as a house, shares or the proceeds of a named bank account.
  • A pecuniary gift: a gift of a set dollar amount determined by you at the time of making your will.

It is a good idea to seek professional legal advice on including a bequest in your will to ensure your gift is valid and effective.
