A bequest is a means of leaving a powerful and permanent legacy in your will. It’s a personal decision enabling you to specify where you would like your donation to be made, and what purpose you would like it to be used for.
A bequest can honour the memory of a loved one, invest in the future of the community through improving education, support critical research and the development of new technology or simply give others a chance to fulfil their learning potential.
We advise talking to your family members and your solicitor about including a bequest to UniSQ in your will. If you would like to update your existing will with a gift to UniSQ, we can provide appropriate wording for a codicil if required.
We are here to help you get started, so please contact UniSQ Giving for more information.
