DONATE
For over 100 years, Gould League has sparked a passion for the environment in young Australians.
Now, we have the opportunity to create a new, cutting-edge Sustainability Education Centre—a hands-on hub for tomorrow’s changemakers. But we can’t do it without you. We urgently need to raise $500,000 to bring this vision to life. Every donation—big or small—has real impact and is tax-deductible.
Empowering young people to care for nature is essential. The world needs bold environmental leaders—and Gould League helps create them.
If you’ve ever been inspired by nature, help us shape the next generation of environmental leaders. Your gift leaves a legacy for our planet and our children.
Donate now. Every gift counts.
Leave a lasting legacy via a Bequest
Bequests from supporters’ wills provide invaluable support, enabling us to offer many services that would otherwise not have been possible. Ask your legal advisor about how to make a charitable bequest to Gould League, or consider taking up a special offer from the Australian Registry of Wills, Deeds, and Documents to do that on your behalf for a special Gould League supporter price of just $52.
If you include a bequest in your will to Gould League, you will ensure that the work that the League undertakes to provide environmental education to school children will extend into the future and beyond your lifetime.
In the following section, we provide some suggestions for the wording of your will to incorporate a bequest to the Gould League. You may wish to consult with your solicitor, accountant or financial advisor about aspects of this because there may be the possibility of tax advantages by gifting specified assets to the Gould League in your will.
There are a number of different ways to provide a bequest in your will. The main choice is whether to provide a fixed amount, a proportional amount or the residue after distributing the rest of the estate to family and others. Another choice is whether to provide cash or assets such as shares in publicly listed companies. These are important considerations which you should discuss with your solicitor or financial advisor.
