Giving Stories

How can my estate have the greatest positive effect?

When I started to think about how to distribute my estate, I first thought of my personal circumstances.

Leaving a gift to Raglan in his Will…

Let’s call him ‘a Raglan local’. He’s a bloke who has lived in the popular seaside town for many years, a keen and adept surfer with a lifestyle and career designed to keep him at the beach.

The gift in Amanda's Will reflects her life of service

Amanda is a woman who has everything she needs, and absolutely no more.

Natasha Harvey - Why We Give

"I give because I believe in systems that empower women — not hold them back. Collective giving creates that system, and the Waikato Women’s Fund makes it real."

Rachel Afeaki-Taumoepeau - Why We Give

“The Waikato Women’s Fund has done incredible mahi since its beginning — but we’re only just getting started.”

Melissa Gibson - Why We Give

“That’s the beauty of the Waikato Women’s Fund — one day you might be the one receiving support, and the next you’re in a position to give it.”

CREATE YOUR LEGACY

Leave a bequest

You donate your time and money in your community and readily provide ongoing support to charities or causes dear to you.

Perhaps the most significant charitable decision you will make in your lifetime is whether to leave a gift in your Will, a bequest, to support a charity or your community. Getting this right can be a challenge, you want to be confident you’re making the best call.

An ideal solution is leaving a bequest to create your own named fund at Momentum Waikato, or to one or more of our existing philanthropic investment funds, guaranteeing perpetual income for what you care about.
