Gifts in Wills: Leaving a legacy with ANZEF

Let your legacy contribute to better eye health where it matters most.

Make a lasting impact on eye health by including the Australian and New Zealand Eye Foundation (ANZEF) in your will. Your legacy will support critical projects and partnerships aimed at preventing avoidable blindness and eye diseases, and improving access to eye care in Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia-Pacific region.

By leaving ANZEF a gift in your will, you can be sure that your legacy will contribute to better eye health by funding vital areas.

ANZEF is guided by the principle that everyone deserves access to excellent eye care, regardless of their location, socio-economic status, or cultural background. As an integral part of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO), ANZEF draws on the expertise and dedication of RANZCO members to ensure that every contribution is used effectively. You can be sure that a gift to ANZEF in your will be used to support worthwhile projects and initiatives at the cutting edge of ophthalmology education, research and innovation.

With a range of types of gifts to choose from, anyone can leave ANZEF a gift in their will.

  • A percentage or share of your estate
  • A specific sum of money or property
  • The portion of your estate which remains after other gifts have been bestowed and financial commitments have been met (residuary gift)
  • The whole of your estate

 

Which type of gift you choose is up to you. In any case your gift will be used to support ANZEF’s mission and to improve eye health equity, access and outcomes for communities where it matters most.

Your legacy will make it possible to respond to the most critical areas of eye health now and in the future.

While you may wish to nominate a particular cause or initiative when making your gift, allowing ANZEF flexibility is the best way to ensure that your gift is used to support the areas which need it the most. As needs in eye health evolve and new priority areas are identified by ANZEF and RANZCO members, your gift will be used to advance eye health equity and access in an impactful and meaningful way.
