Gift Options

We need successful people to further their local philanthropic endeavours in areas of interest to them. You can help make a long-term difference by donating now and in you will. Of course there are significant tax advantages while you are alive.

Donors are encouraged to make their gifts in a number of ways depending on their aims:

• UNRESTRICTED OR DISCRETIONARY GIFTS
  An unrestricted gift is able to be used by the GCF to make a wide range of charitable purpose grants to meet community needs
• NAMED FUNDS
  The gift in these cases can carry the name of the donor or the donor’s family. The name may honour someone or preserve their memory of a family member, friend or outstanding citizen.
• DONOR PREFERENCE
  Donors, including those with a named gift, may indicate their preference for a particular charity of class of charities.
• BEQUESTS
  People can make a gift as a bequest in their will. The bequest can be recognized by name if the donor wishes or it can be an anonymous gift.
