How to include a gift to Parents for Climate in your Will
Step 1: Decide what type of gift you'd like to leave
You can specify any amount or percentage of your estate that you feel comfortable gifting to Parents for Climate. A bequest doesn’t impact your wealth during your lifetime and only takes effect when administering your estate. A gift, of any size, will make a difference to the impact of our work. Here are some options to think about:
- Residual Gift
- Percentage or nominated portion
- Specific gift or asset
- Cash sum
Step 2: Speak to a legal professional
We recommend that you seek independent professional legal advice when preparing or updating your Will. Professional advice is the best way to ensure that your intentions will be upheld and that your estate will be distributed correctly. If you need a solicitor, the law society in your state or territory can refer you to one.
Step 3: Include the correct wording
Our suggested wording for a Will is:
“I give the residue… OR
“I give [insert percentage]% of the residue… OR

…of my estate free from all debts (secured and unsecured) and all duties and taxes (whether federal or state) payable in respect of my estate to the Parents for Climate Ltd. (ABN 19 637 293 746) for its general purposes, and I declare that the receipt of an authorised officer of the said Parents for Climate shall be a full and sufficient discharge of this bequest.
