Bequest
By leaving a gift to Stewart House through a bequest, you are helping us change the lives of thousands of children for generations to come. You may also wish to leave a donation in loving memory of a family member or friend
Since our doors opened in 1931, Stewart House has supported over 150,000 children in need, and your gift is a way of ensuring that thousands more can benefit from a stay at Stewart House.
We understand that leaving a bequest in your Will is an important decision to make, and we are here to support you through this process. If you would like further information about our program and the work that we do, please get in contact with us on (02) 9938 3100 or at marketing@stewarthouse.org.au
We are always grateful when someone decides to make a bequest to Stewart House as this unbudgeted ‘windfall’ enables us to improve the program and our infrastructure.
We confirm that Stewart House (ABN 97 127 072 100) is a public company limited by guarantee registered in the Corporations Act 2001, a charity registered with the ACNC and a public benevolent institution with endorsement as a deductible gift recipient.
How will my gift be used?
You can choose where and how you would like us to use your gift. Leaving a bequest for general use will allow us to direct your donation to where it is needed most. Alternatively, you may choose to direct your gift towards a specific fund, including:
- Capital improvements to benefit the children’s comfort and stay
- Providing additional resources to support the psychological and emotional needs of the children
- The provision of healthy, well-balanced meals for the children
- Weekend excursions for the children
- Providing suitable footwear, clothing and toiletry items for the children
- Providing transport for children from regional and remote parts of the state to access Stewart House
Wording for your Will
To include Stewart House in your Will, we suggest that you use the following wording:
“I bequeath to Stewart House for its [general use or a specified purpose], my [entire estate, or the sum of $…… from my estate, or the residual of my estate], free of all duties. The receipt of the Chief Executive Officer or other authorized officer for the time being shall be a complete and sufficient discharge for the executor(s).”
Call us: we would be happy to speak to you about this. If you have any further questions or want more information, don’t hesitate to contact us on (02) 9938 3100 or at marketing@stewarthouse.org.au.
