Your gift that keeps giving
A will is your opportunity to have the last word, to say what you believe in and to recognise people and organisations that enriched your life.
ANU Alumna and bequest donor Ms Hester Gascoigne
Making a gift in your will to The Australian National University is a lasting legacy that can create a better future. Your bequest will help us create opportunities for our students, staff and researchers. It will ensure excellence is embedded in our approach as Australia's national university.
By remembering ANU in your will, we can make a positive impact on what matters the most to you.
What can you support?
By leaving a gift in your will to the University, you can support:
- Scholarships for students who might otherwise be unable to study at ANU
- An academic discipline or research priority that you are passionate about
- Distinctive learning opportunities such as international collaboration and study
- Endowed positions including Chairs and Professorships
- and a variety of other important areas of research and teaching at ANU
You can also leave an unrestricted gift in your will. Such a bequest allows the University or a College to use the funds to support critical initiatives and other areas of greatest need - so valuable in today's rapidly changing world.
