Make a Bequest to the Molonglo Catchment Group

A growing number of Australians are leaving legacies and gifts in their Wills for charitable organisations. By including the MCG in your Will you will be assisting the community to protect the Australian environment. You will be contributing to projects that aim to raise community appreciation and knowledge of environmental values, that protect and enhance the environment in the Molonglo and Queanbeyan River valleys, and that encourage sustainable land management practices.

The importance of your Will

Your Will is a document that states how you wish for your assets to be distributed upon death. Without a Will you allow others to make decisions about your estate. By making (and updating) your Will, you ensure that your estate is distributed in the way you wish.

What can I give?

You can bequeath:

1. cash, either a specific sum or a percentage or the residue of your estate; or
2. other gifts such as jewellery, works of art, shares and other goods.

You may wish to discuss with us the type of gift you intend to leave the MCG, so that we an ensure that we are able to apply your gift to our work. We recommend, where appropriate, that you discuss your desire to make a gift to the MCG with your family or loved ones, so that your intentions are clear to all concerned.

Wording your intention

Including the MCG in your Will is simple. The following standard wording can be included in your Will or Codicil:

'I bequeath to the Molonglo Catchment Group Inc ABN 78 210 867 987 of Unit 13 Cassidy Arcade, 72-76 Monaro St, Queanbeyan, Australia the sum of # (or percentage of estate, details of property or shares) for its general purposes and I DECLARE that the receipt of the Secretary, Treasurer or other proper officer will be a full and absolute discharge to my Executor for the bequest and my Executor will not be bound to see the application of the bequest.'
