Bequests
Helping future generations
After taking care of your loved ones you might like to also make a gift that remembers the Canterbury Asthma Society. This gift will extend beyond your lifetime to thousands of Cantabrians with respiratory conditions - helping to ensure that they get the support they need.
If you don't have a will
To make a bequest you need to have a will. If you don't already have a will then it is important to make one and to do so with legal advice to ensure it is properly prepared.
If you already have a will
If you already have one then all you need to do is to add a supplement to your will - a codicil. Click here to download a codicil template. Remember it is best to make the terms as general as possible as it will likely be a long time before we receive your bequest and our programmes may well change in response to the changing needs of the population.
We greatly value your support
We would be delighted to hear if you have included a bequest to the Canterbury Asthma Society in your will. Letting us know of your intentions will enable us to thank you personally and acknowledge you on behalf of the individuals and families on whose lives you gift will have a positive affect. Remember: it is our mission, with your assistance, to help all New Zealanders breathe easier.
