Leave a legacy of inclusion
Including Scope in your Will is a powerful way to create lasting change for people with disability. After you’ve looked after your loved ones, a gift to Scope can help ensure future generations have the support, opportunities, and respect they deserve.
For over 75 years, Scope has been working alongside people with disability to create a more inclusive Australia. Your legacy will help us continue this vital work—advocating for rights, shifting attitudes, and delivering services that empower people to live the life they choose.
No matter the size, your bequest will make a meaningful and lasting difference.
How to include Scope in your Will
There are several ways you can leave a gift to Scope:
- The residue of your estate (what remains after other gifts and expenses)
- A fixed percentage of your estate
- A specific sum of money
- A particular item, such as shares, jewellery, or artwork
We recommend speaking with your solicitor or legal adviser to ensure your wishes are clearly and correctly documented.
