Testimonial

"I support Tearfund as I believe that the financial funding raised through donations and bequests is well stewarded and administered wisely – both of which are VERY important to me.

I decided to leave a bequest to Tearfund as I believe their work is making a difference in fighting injustice and alleviating poverty around the world.

They are putting faith into practical action and achieving results that transform lives and local communities.  I know anything that I leave them will be well used and help those in greatest need."

- Kate Turner

Leaving a bequest

To make a bequest you need a will. If you already have one and wish to include a gift to Tearfund, all you need to do is update your existing will to include a bequest. Alternatively, a codicil can be added to your existing will.

We recommend that you discuss the type of gift you would like to leave and your proposed codicil with your solicitor, the Public Trust Office or a trustee company.

Suggested wording:

I give and bequeath (choose one of the four options)

  1. ………..……% of my estate
  2. The residue of my estate
  3. The sum of $..................
  4. Description of assets or property

To The Evangelical Alliance Relief Fund (Tearfund), PO Box 8315, Symonds St, Auckland 1150, Registration CC 21725 for the general purposes of Tearfund. I declare that the official receipt of the Chief Executive or other duly authorised officer shall be full and sufficient discharge to my Trustees.
