Do them proud with a gift in your Will
Touch hearts for generations to come
At the Heart Foundation, we know that family comes first. Having a valid Will is one way you can ensure they are financially and emotionally secure after you’ve gone.
Through your Will, you can touch the hearts of those closest to you. You can also impact the lives of millions of people living in Australia with cardiovascular disease.
A gift in your Will to the Heart Foundation will help fund vital research. It will help create lifesaving treatments and support programs. And it will continue to do your loved ones proud, long after you’ve gone.
For Aunt Joy, giving of herself was a way of life.
It’s more than just a gift
When you choose to leave a gift in your Will to the Heart Foundation, your act of generosity lives on long after you do.
It becomes a lasting source of pride for your loved ones, and an ongoing source of hope for the families in Australia who suffer with the devastating effects of heart disease.
Stories of pride: hear from families whose loved ones left a bequest
"Joy was always asking how she could help someone. When I found out Joy had left a gift in her Will to the Heart Foundation, I wasn’t surprised. It was just who she was. Thinking about it gives me a warm feeling.
It’s a feeling of knowing that Joy’s gift has helped fund life-saving heart research. I think about my dad, who was born with a hole in his heart and the advances made in medical research funded by gifts like Joy’s. Her big heart has inspired me to leave the world a better place."
Keith, nephew of Gifts in Wills supporter Joy Buckland
"Uncle Charles was generous and willingly helped others but did so quietly, avoiding any fanfare.
Charles chose to leave this generous gift to the Heart Foundation after his passing rather than receive the accolades while he was alive - that was who he was!
Supporting the Heart Foundation by way of his generous bequest will provide funding for vital research for years to come. This is Charles’ legacy and as his family we are extremely proud."
Marie, niece of Gift in Wills supporter Charles Coghlan

There are many reasons why our supporters choose to leave a gift in their Will. For Phillip, who witnessed a close friend battle with Rheumatic Heart Disease, he knew he wanted to give hope to others with the same condition.
