Partners For Life

Bequests - Becoming a “Partner for Life”

Ralph Waldo Emerson described success as:
“To leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition. To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived”

 

We all desire to leave the world a better place, so at Karinya Counselling Centres, we have created the “Partners For Life” Bequest Fund, to recognise that in an increasingly affluent society, many people are questioning how they can make a difference. Your kind gift will create a lasting legacy that will be a tribute to your memory.

With Karinya, your gift will benefit people in your community for generations to come. These are societies most vulnerable members, individuals and families who are struggling with painful and difficult issues and circumstances that are holding them back from enjoying life to its fullest. All bequests are invested in the “Partners for Life” Bequest Fund, the interest income used for capital works and support projects.

Please let us know if you have named, or intend to name Karinya in your will. We would welcome the opportunity to show our appreciation through adding your name to our “Partners for Life” register, and keeping you informed on exciting developments. However, if you prefer to keep your intentions confidential, you can count on us to honour your privacy.

To ensure that your accumulated assets are distributed according to your wishes, Karinya recommends you enlist the professional assistance of a trustee or solicitor. If you would like to discuss your plans with Karinya, please contact Ms Anne Hyde at our head office on (03) 9802 2886.  Or tick the appropriate box on the Donor Payment Form and we will contact you.

Otherwise, by simply adding a few words to your Will, you can make a bequest, which may alter the lives of so many people who are struggling. You will then join Karinya in our “Partner for Life” program, assisting us to continue our aim to be an expression of God’s love and care within the community. 

Remember – you can make a difference, and any donation will be appreciated.

Bequests of property are now exempt from capital gains tax, thus maximising the appreciated value of these gifts for tax deduction purposes.
