The Impact of your Gift
Thank you for considering a gift in your Will to the Plunket Foundation. Your legacy will help tamariki in New Zealand thrive from the very beginning – supporting families when they need it most, for generations to come.
After you’ve taken care of your loved ones, even a small gift can make a lasting difference. A gift in your Will is a meaningful way to support tamariki and whānau across New Zealand.
Your support will help Plunket continue to provide vital health and wellbeing care for children under five, including:
- Health and development checks
- Community groups and support for whānau
- Parenting advice and education
- Speaking up for children and families
Leaving a percentage of your estate is one of the most impactful ways to support Plunket’s work, as it keeps pace with inflation and ensures your gift retains its value over time.
Your legacy will help ensure that future generations can continue to benefit from the trusted, much-loved care that has been there for families like yours.

How to include a gift in your Will
Gifts in Wills are among the most thoughtful donations we receive, and gifts of all sizes are deeply valued. Many people find that a legacy gift is a meaningful way to make a lasting, positive impact on families in New Zealand – without affecting their financial needs during their lifetime.
If you’re considering this, we encourage you to talk with your loved ones and seek advice from a lawyer when writing or updating your Will.
