A long-time supporter of the Caring Foundation told us recently that he had made a bequest to the Bishop's Foundation. When we asked him why he had decided to remember the Foundation in his Will, he said "I chose to leave a bequest to the Catholic Caring Foundation because it is an organisation with integrity and assists so many people every year."

Many supporters think about making provision for their favourite charity but often never quite get around to updating their Will.  Of course making a Bequest to the Foundation need not be an onerous task.  Adding a codicil can be as simple as sending a formal note, signed and witnessed, to the lawyer who holds the original Will on a person's behalf.

The Foundation depends heavily on bequest income to be able to help those organisations who seek our financial support to carry out their wonderful work.

If you are considering making a bequest to the Bishop's Foundation, and would like more information, please call Leanne Tiscornia on 09-360-3045. Alternatively, please e-mail us at caring@caringfoundation.org.nz to be sent more information in the mail.
