Leave a bequest in your Will
Help us solve some of Australia’s most challenging social problems by leaving a gift in your Will to SVA.
Lead the charge for future generations
As champions of change, SVA supporters appreciate that our vision for the future is big.
SVA speeds up innovation in the social sector so more people in Australia can live their best life. But real change takes time. It takes energy, expertise and investment. And it takes passionate change-makers like you.
One of the best ways to help create real and lasting change is to leave a bequest in your Will to SVA.
Your bequest can help SVA to:
- Tackle big issues that others shy away from, exploring fresh and innovative approaches to alleviate disadvantage;
- Focus on areas where we can make the greatest impact now, creating better opportunities for future generations;
- Scale up proven solutions to create lasting impact for some of our most vulnerable people and communities.
Wording for your Will
We recommend seeking advice from a solicitor when drafting your will. Your solicitor can advise you on different kinds of gifts and ensure your wishes are accurately reflected.
If you already have a Will and would like to add a gift to SVA, you can speak to your solicitor about adding a codicil, which is a short legal amendment.
Below is an example of standard wording that is used in the nomination of a bequest to SVA.
“I give [$sum or asset or my whole estate or the residue of my estate] to Social Ventures Australia Limited, of Suite 5.02, Level 5, 309 Kent Street, Sydney NSW 2000, ABN: 94 100 487 572. The receipt of the treasurer, secretary or public officer for the time being of Social Ventures Australia Limited is a sufficient discharge to my executors in respect of a gift to Social Ventures Australia Limited.”
We encourage you to reach out to us before nominating a bequest to SVA so we can understand your wishes and thank you personally.

We work with partners and communities across a range of areas of expertise, such as early years, education, employment, housing and homelessness. As Australia’s most innovative social impact organisation, we help institutions think differently about how to achieve better social outcomes.
We know, for example, that the best way to change life-long outcomes for people is to change what happens in early childhood. Watch the video to find out how we’re helping families find better ways to thrive.
