Leaving a gift
When you leave a charitable bequest, your kindness lives on, improving lives long after you’ve gone. A gift in your will to AMRF is the most wonderful way to show the world what you were passionate about.
A gift in your will means you can help improve the health and quality of life for generations to come and play a significant role in the future of the Australian Melanoma Research Foundation’s work.
By leaving a gift in your will, you can help the Australian Melanoma Research Foundation continue to fund research that will yield direct benefits to Melanoma sufferers and ultimately, the general community.
It is a common misconception that only wealthy people leave gifts in their will. Every gift, no matter how large or small, makes a difference. Thank you for considering leaving this gift.
