Ever wanted to leave a lasting legacy to a cause you are passionate about? If so, now could be the time to make it happen.
September is “Wills Month”, a promotion undertaken by all 17 community foundations across the country to try to make people aware of the need to update their own wills and to think about including provision in their wills for making bequests to their favoured causes.
A number of years ago, Sport Northland partnered up with the Northland Community Foundation (NCF) to establish a Northland Sports Endowment Fund, with the aim of creating a lasting legacy for play, active recreation and sport across the region.
As one of the 17 community foundations in NZ, NCF has an aim of providing a simple, effective, long-lasting way for individuals, families and organisations to leave legacies or create funds to support local causes, and to ensure these gifts will achieve maximum and enduring benefits for our community.
