Include us in your Will

We understand that providing for those closest to you will be your first priority and we support your decision to do this.

Many people find that they can support the people and causes they care about by choosing a residual bequest. Put simply, this is a percentage of your estate after you’ve taken care of your loved ones.

There are three main types of gifts you can leave Peter Mac:

1. Residual gift – this is a share or portion of your estate and can range from 1% - 100%. Whatever you decide.
2. Sum of money – also known as a pecuniary gift.
3. Specific items of value – this can be a property, shares or works of art.

It’s completely up to you and depends on your circumstances. Some people who support Peter Mac today with a regular monthly gift or donate to our cash appeals have also remembered us in their Wills, while for others, the gift in their Will is the first donation we receive from them.

Most people choose to direct their gift to cancer research so it can be used in the research area of greatest need and where it will have the most impact.

If you want to direct your gift to an area that’s important to you, please contact us.
