Thank you for choosing to make a donation to Lake Taupo Hospice. We are a registered charity and your assistance is much appreciated.
We offer free help to the terminally ill in the Lake Taupo region and while we do receive some government funding we still require a great deal of financial assistance from our community. This community assistance helps us fund activities such as our day stay programme, our arts and craft group and equipment purchases.
Any individual who makes a gift of $5.00 or more to a registered charity can claim 1/3 of their taxable income or 1/3 of the total donations made in that tax year ( whichever is the lesser)
Make a Bequest in your Will
What is a Will?
A Will is a statement of your wishes. It is a legal directive about how you wish your assets to be distributed after your death. A will ensures that your wishes are followed and it’s your chance to express your desire to leave a gift to your preferred charities. If you do not leave a Will you run the risk of there being confusion and misunderstanding of your intentions.
What is a bequest?
It is the provision in a Will to donate to a charitable cause.
How do I make a Will?
By consulting a solicitor, the Public trust Office or a Trustee company.
Can I change my existing Will?
You can review and update your Will at any time and it is recommended you do this every 5-6 years. If you do not specifically mention a desire in your Will it is unlikely to be valid.
