The Impact of your Gift
Thank you for considering a gift in your Will to the Plunket Foundation. Your legacy will help children in Aotearoa New Zealand receive the best start in life, for generations to come.
No matter how big or small, a gift in your Will to the Plunket Foundation is one of the most significant ways that you can show your support for children and whānau in New Zealand.
Your gift will help Plunket continue vital health and wellbeing services for children under five, including:
- Health and development checks
- Postnatal support groups
- Parenting advice and education
- Advocacy
The best way you can support Plunket’s work is to leave a percentage of your estate to the Plunket Foundation. Your gift will ensure that future generations don’t miss out on the much-loved services that you, your children and grandchildren may have enjoyed.
How to include a gift in your Will
Gifts in Wills are some of the most thoughtful donations we receive. Gifts of all sizes are valued and appreciated. Many people find that a legacy gift is an ideal way to make a lasting, positive impact on families in New Zealand, without affecting their financial needs during their lifetime.
