BEQUESTS
Make a difference. Make a bequest.
Making a bequest creates an enduring legacy for you and your family. It both acknowledges your life and enables your family to support the vital work undertaken by the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand for future generations.
MAKING A BEQUEST
In your Will, you can nominate the Centre as a beneficiary or part-beneficiary, in the following ways:
- Allocate a specific amount, or percentage of your Will, to the Centre
- Allocate property (e.g. house, land) to the Centre
- Allocate specific items (including artefacts), money, shares etc to the Centre
- Nominate Centre as a beneficiary in your insurance policy
- Establish a trust fund where interest earned is donated to the Centre
- Designate 'all the rest' and/or the 'residue of the estate' to the Centre
TYPES OF BEQUEST
A bequest to HCNZ is generally made in one of the four ways:
- General Purpose Bequest - to help fund the Centre’s ongoing costs associated with day-to-day operations. Such costs would include but are not limited to, staff and educator salaries, equipment/facilities, technology, marketing, rent, training, and the collating and recording of survivor testimonies.
- Specific Purpose Bequest - to help fund one or more of our key projects and/or programmes. These currently include the Children’s Holocaust Memorial, the bi-annual Inge Woolf Memorial seminar for Teachers at Yad Vashem, the annual International Holocaust Remembrance Day activities and education in schools.
- Gift in Perpetuity - administered by the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand
- Artefact Bequest - for the preservation and exhibition of gifted artefact/s to the Centre’s existing collection.
