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 they care about today continues well into the future, helping ensure no Kiwis affected by prostate cancer, and their whānau, 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, partner, a father and the wider whānau affected by prostate cancer. For others, it's about ensuring 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 individuals and their whānau to not just survive, but thrive, at any stage of their journey
• Fund research that improves clinical outcomes, deepens understanding of the disease and strengthens support for those affected
• Raise awareness and promote early detection to save lives
• Advocate for improved standards of care across New Zealand.

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

With around 4,000 Kiwis diagnosed and over 700 lives lost each year in New Zealand, this is a challenge that isn't going away.

Gifts like these help us plan for the future with confidence, working towards a time when no one 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 Dads 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.
