Wills & bequests

Without the generosity of those who leave donations to us in their Wills, many of the vital research, cancer prevention and patient-support programs provided by Cancer Council Victoria just wouldn't happen.

Gifts left to us in Wills are known as Bequests, and these are our largest single source of charitable income. As a non-government organisation, many of the advances we've made through our 70-year history wouldn't have been possible without these promises of long-term funding from supporters.

Making a bequest to the Cancer Council today will help us plan our life-saving work into the future.

Your Will leads us closer to the answer to cancer

We've developed a new Wills Guide and DVD that showcases the work of Cancer Council Victoria, and demonstrates how much difference a bequest can make. Bequests fund vital cancer control projects that otherwise might not be possible.
