“

The gift of education is a gift for life A Will is a promise to the future, it enables you provide care and support for loved ones beyond your lifetime, and also gives you the opportunity to create a personal legacy to causes close to your heart. Education is, perhaps, one of the most profound legacies we can create: it helps shape the lives not only of individuals but all of the communities their lives will touch.

You can inspire and support future generations in ways you never knew were possible.

“

Walking together, one generation after another, we make St Andrew’s College the school it is. A history of success, a future of opportunities.” Christine Leighton, Rector

Your gift,

your choice

THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WAYS IN WHICH YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SUPPORT THE COLLEGE:

STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIES Rewarding and recognising talented students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend St Andrew’s College. ST ANDREW’S COLLEGE FOUNDATION

ENDOWMENT FUND

The Endowment Fund gives discretion to the College to direct your gift to priority programmes and areas of highest need. This is a continually growing invested fund, where only the interest is expended. This means, however large or small your bequest, you will contribute to the education of St Andrew’s students well into the future.

CREATING A NAMED ENDOWMENT The opportunity to support an area you are passionate about in perpetuity, while also creating a memorial.

Once you have chosen the area you would most like to support, there are different methods for making your gift:

• • • • •

a percentage of your estate; a specified amount or asset (real estate, stocks, shares, collectibles, etc.); a residual bequest: part or all of the remaining estate, after other beneficiaries have been provided for; a contingent bequest: naming St Andrew’s College as an alternative beneficiary in the event another beneficiary is not able to receive their inheritance; an in vivo gift: part or all of your bequest is given during your lifetime, allowing you to witness the impact of your support.

Benefits of making a gift in your Will:

• • • •

the opportunity to make a difference to a cause important to you; fulfilment of personal philanthropic goals while still having the use of your assets; the opportunity to honour someone special in a meaningful way; the opportunity to create something extraordinary.
