Every day, thousands of Australians are in the fight of their lives, battling illness and disease. But you can give hope! After you’ve taken care of your loved ones, you may wish to leave a gift in your Will to The Hospital Research Foundation Group, or the charity within our Group you feel most connected to. A gift of as little as 1% of your estate can make a big difference to lifesaving medical research and patient care in hospitals.
Your Gift will be used in your way of choosing:
Research Projects
Nominate a specific area of research that is important to you and your family
Equipment
Sponsor a specific piece of equipment, research fellowship or student scholarship
Patient Care
Support patient care services at a particular hospital that is close to your heart
Join others in the Basil Hetzel Society
When you leave a Gift in Your Will to our charity you join The Basil Hetzel Society – our legacy society established to celebrate and recognise these special donors. Our Society is named after the honourable Dr Basil Hetzel, one of Australia’s most distinguished medical scientists.
As a member of the Society, you have the opportunity to attend special functions and events which recognise your support, meet researchers and learn about how your gift will have an impact for the health and wellbeing for your loved ones now and in the future.
Four ways you can add a gift in your Will
Percentage
You can leave a percentage of your estate to the disease area of your choice through your Will. The final amount of the gift will depend on the total value of your estate.
Residual
Another option is to leave a residual gift in your Will, which means donating a percentage of what is left after your loved ones and any other beneficiaries have received their gifts. This way, you can ensure that your legacy will benefit a cause that is important to you.
Amount
If you prefer, you can specify a fixed amount of money to donate to a charity in your Will. This guarantees that we will receive the exact amount you wish to give.
Assets
Aside from cash, you can also leave a gift in the form of assets, such as stocks, real estate, or personal property. This can provide tax benefits for your estate while also supporting a cause you care about.
Your gift will assist in groundbreaking and lifesaving breakthroughs
A Lifesaving Key to Beating Breast Cancer
Did you know, every day in Australia approximately 50 people are diagnosed with breast cancer?
A Potential New Treatment for Breast Cancer
Talented researcher Dr Theresa Hickey is making exciting progress into breast cancer research through seed funding provided by Australian Breast Cancer Research (ABCR) – and she’s made some exciting outcomes!
Blocking the Pathway to Cancer Spread
The discovery of a gene and signalling pathway which may explain how triple negative breast cancer cells become resistant to treatment and spread more rapidly, could lead to new therapies being developed to block the spread of this difficult to treat cancer.
Breast Cancer Breakthroughs that will Save Lives
Unfortunately, one in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime and talented researcher Dr Pallave Dasari is working to change this statistic.
You will make a meaningful difference in people's lives
