By leaving a gift to Columban Missionaries in your Will, you become a partner in our work. This is called a bequest or a gift in will — a charity that leaves a lasting and hopeful legacy for the future. Your generosity will help us continue our work to:
- Support self-improvement programs with the poor and oppressed in the countries where we work.
- Bring God's saving message to Christians and non-Christians and show our love for Christ.
- Support the preaching of the Gospel within other cultures.
- Support communication and understanding between Christian and non-Christian traditions.
- Support education for justice, peace and the integrity of creation.
- Demonstrate your care for the whole of creation.
GIFT IN WILL INFORMATION REQUEST
St Columbans Mission Society can only continue to carry out our lifesaving work with the poorest people in the world thanks to donations. One way you can choose to donate is through a gift in will charity gift, which would be given to our organisation once you pass on.
Legacy donations to charity are left in your will, and if you choose to leave this kind of bequest to Columban, you can be assured that it’ll be used to help those most in need in the 16 countries where we operate.
It’s easy to bequest to charity: how a gift in will works
The process of leaving a gift in will charity donation to Columban is simple. You can choose to leave us a fixed amount or a percentage of your estate, and you then simply need to ensure this is stated in your will. Once you pass on, your executors will then organise your bequest to charity, as per your wishes, and Columban will use your donation to help fund our work.
Bequests or gift in will charities have different types, and you can choose between:
- Specific bequest — Designate a particular asset, such as a sum of money or property, as your gift in will charity.
- Residuary bequest — Allocate a portion or the remainder of your estate to the charity after all debts and expenses have been settled.
- Percentage bequest — Leave a percentage of your estate to charity.
- Endowment bequest — Designate that your gift in will charity should be invested, and only the income or a portion of it is used to support the charity’s work.
By choosing to leave a gift in will charity to the Columban Missionaries, you become a partner in our life-changing work. Your generosity contributes to the welfare and betterment of communities in need, and it ensures that your values and beliefs continue to make a positive impact on the world long after you're gone.
