Gifts In Wills

For many of our supporters, leaving a gift in their Will is a natural extension of the support they’ve given during their lifetime.

It’s a way to make sure the work you care about today continues well into the future, helping ensure no Kiwi men and whānau affected by prostate cancer have to face it alone.

Why people choose to leave a gift

Everyone’s reason is different.

For some, it’s deeply personal. A friend, a partner, a father and the wider whānau affected by prostate cancer.

For others, it’s about making sure future generations have better outcomes, stronger support, and more consistent information to act on.

Whatever your reason, a gift in your Will helps ensure the work that matters to you continues for future generations.

A gift in your Will helps us:

·      Support men and their whānau through diagnosis, treatment, and beyond

·      Fund research to change the treatment landscape and improve outcomes

·      Raise awareness and promote early detection to save lives

·      Advocate for better outcomes and more consistent care across New Zealand

As we receive no government funding, gifts in Wills play an important role in ensuring this work can continue.

With around 4,500 men diagnosed every year in New Zealand, and around 740 deaths annually, this is a challenge that isn’t going away.

Gifts like these help us plan for the future with confidence, working towards a future where no man faces prostate cancer alone.

As one supporter shared:

“My Dad is a survivor of prostate cancer and I wish to support and help the foundation so that other sons and daughters can have their Dad’s around a little longer too. Thank you for everything you do.” – Conor, Hamilton.

After taking care of whānau and loved ones, many people choose to leave a gift in their Will to support causes they care about. This can take a number of forms, including:

• A percentage of your estate (residuary gift)
• A specific amount (pecuniary gift)
• Particular assets, such as property, shares or even digital assets like cryptocurrency.

There's no expectation around size. Every gift makes a difference to Kiwis affected by prostate cancer.
