Since Sir David Martin Foundation began in 1990, gifts in Wills have played an important role in allowing us to help young people in crisis. We are so very grateful to the many individuals that have left gifts in their Wills to our Foundation, which has helped us to create lasting change in the lives of many young Australians and has given them the chance of a brighter future.
Leave a gift in your Will
Have you thought about what your legacy might be? Leaving a gift in your Will to Sir David Martin Foundation is a very special act of generosity and foresight.
Is this for me?
People leave gifts of all sizes. You don’t have to be wealthy to leave a gift in your Will as every dollar has the power to save young lives.
Gifts in Wills are for people who want to make a positive difference to their community. These gifts honour their memory, and ensure vulnerable young Australians continue to get the support they need.

Gifts in Wills can take various forms
- The residue of your Estate: after you have looked after your loved ones, you may choose to leave what remains to Sir David Martin Foundation. This is called a residuary bequest.
- A percentage of your Estate: this option has the advantage of not being affected by inflation. If your estate changes, your bequest remains in proportion with other parts of your Will.
- A specific Bequest: this option allows you to specify the exact amount or asset you wish to leave to Sir David Martin Foundation in your Will.
