Scope has been supporting people with a disability with compassion, dignity, and respect for over 70 years. Every day we work hard to drive change in the community; shifting attitudes, improving inclusion and access, and advocating for the rights of people with a disability so they can live their lives as empowered and equal citizens.
Including a gift in your Will is a way you can help Scope continue to do this work and provide programs and services we offer to future generations for years to come.
After you have cared for your loved ones, you might like to consider leaving a gift in your Will to Scope. Your gift, no matter what size, could create a future full of possibilities for people living with disability.
How do I include Scope in my Will?
There are many ways in which you can leave a gift in your Will to Scope.
You can leave:
- The residue of your estate after expenses.
- A fixed percentage of your estate.
- A specific sum of money.
- A specific item such as a share portfolio, jewellery or artwork.
The right wording for your Will is so important.
Some suggested examples of wording for your Will include:
“I give to Scope (Aust) Ltd (ABN 63 004 280 871), the residue of my estate to be used for its general purposes. The receipt of an authorised officer or treasurer of Scope (Aust) Ltd will be sufficient discharge for my executors.”
