Bequest Programme

29 Sep 2020

Historically, many not-for-profit organisations have obtained their largest assets through bequests. There is currently a great opportunity for organisations to create or improve their bequest programmes due to a number of factors:

  • The population is aging.
  • The wealthiest generation in human history, ‘baby boomers’ (individuals born between 1946 and 1964, post-World War II), are aging and preparing to pass down a record-breaking amount of assets.
  • Technology and media are making it much easier for New Zealanders to make gifts.
  • New Zealanders increasingly want to make their mark on the world.

Bequest gifts are a valuable fundraising stream because they don’t require an immediate financial outlay. They need to be thoroughly planned and ensure the focus is always family oriented first. 
 
Barrer & Co believes not-for-profits should invest in the development and implementation of structured bequest programmes. The time to do this is now!

A ‘giving tree’ is sometimes used as a form of acknowledgement for bequests.
