“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

Become a Legacy Legend: Leave a Gift to CAFNEC in Your Will
Leaving a gift in your will to CAFNEC.
When you leave a gift in your will to CAFNEC you provide a legacy for your children, grandchildren and all future generations. A gift in your will costs nothing now, and every gift, large or small, will help to drive the change needed to protect the places, wildlife and people we love in Far North Queensland.
Writing your Will
Your will can reflect what is important to you in your life. Leaving a gift in your will often comes from a deep joy in the natural environment and a desire to pass this on to future generations. Discuss your wishes with your family to ensure they understand that your charitable gifts are really important to you.
Your Will is a very important legal document and Cairns and Far North Environment Centre advise that you consult a solicitor or the Office of the Public Trust. If you have already prepared your will, you can still include a gift to CAFNEC by adding a Codicil or when you next update your current will.
Appropriate wording of your Will is crucial. For your gift to be valid the organisation’s full name, i.e. Cairns and Far North Environment Centre Incorporated, must be used. If necessary, your solicitor or trustee company can contact us to discuss your wishes or request further information.
Suggested wording
A clause may be inserted in your Will using the following words:
“I GIVE (insert here the details of the bequest) free from all debts (secured and unsecured) payable in respect of my estate to the Cairns and Far North Environment Centre Incorporated and I DECLARE that a receipt of the Secretary or Treasurer for the time being of the said Cairns and Far North Environment Centre Incorporated shall be a full and sufficient discharge of this bequest to my executor(s).”
You may need to update your will several times over your lifetime as circumstances change. It is important to review your will regularly to make sure it is still valid so that your wishes can be fulfilled
Common types of gifts
Specific cash gift
A specific cash amount is another form of gift that allows you to nominate a certain quantity of money. Regular review of your Will should be made.
Residual gifts
After providing for family and friends you can choose to leave what remains (residual) to Cairns and Far North Environment Centre. Regular review of your Will is recommended to account for changes in your estate or compensate for inflation.
Percentage gift
You may decide to share your estate among a number of charities by allocating a percentage. In this case your Will does not need to be reviewed regularly.
Contact information
Please contact us for further information about leaving a gift in your will, we would love to talk with you, particularly if you have already taken steps to include CAFNEC in your will. Confidentiality of your advice will be respected at all times.
