Bequests & Donations
Making a tax-free donation or leaving a gift in your will to WEA Sydney is a meaningful way to ensure that your legacy lives on in the continuing mission of WEA Sydney to provide rich learning opportunities for adults. By giving to WEA Sydney, you are returning the gift of learning that it has been providing for well over 100 years.
Bequests
A bequest is a gift that is made through your will. There are several options you could consider:
- A specific gift of money which is a fixed dollar amount
- A percentage of your estate
- A residual gift which is either a percentage or the remainder of your estate after all your other provisions have been met
- A specific asset such as shares
To make a bequest in your will, you should consult your solicitor or you could use the following words in your will:
I give and bequeath, free of all duties, taxes or deductions, to Workers’ Educational Association Sydney ABN 82 062 929 908 (insert here a dollar amount, or percentage of your estate, or residuary of my estate after provisions, or name of asset) to be used for its general purposes.
