Leaving a gift to the Gallery in your Will – also known as a bequest – is a deeply meaningful and enduring way to share your love of art and enrich the lives of future generations of visitors.
Your legacy will help ensure QAGOMA is able to continue connecting people with art, through access to the Collection, innovative programs, exhibitions, and events.
Gifts of all sizes are greatly valued and help to secure the Gallery’s future.
For further information on including a gift in your Will contact:
We encourage anyone considering including a gift to the Gallery in their Will to speak with us about their wishes.
An unrestricted gift will ensure the Gallery can direct your generosity where it is needed most, as this can change over time. If you are thinking about directing your gift to a specific purpose or activity, we want to ensure your intentions are understood and can provide further information to make sure the Galley can accept your gift in the future.
We would also love to acknowledge your thoughtful generosity.
Are you a solicitor or legal advisor? Refer to our Will wording for more information.
We recommend you seek the qualified advice of an independent solicitor before making or revising your Will.
Provide an excerpt from your Will that details your gift to QAGOMA, or have your legal representative notify the QAGOMA Foundation in writing that you have left a bequest to the Gallery.
To include the Gallery in your Will, the following wording may be used:
‘I give [___percentage of Estate / the sum of $___/ specific items (s)____ ] to the Queensland Art Gallery Board of Trustees (ABN 66 758 806 810). I declare that the receipt of the Gallery will be sufficient discharge to my Executors.’
If you have an existing Will and would like to update it to include a gift to QAGOMA, the Gallery can provide you with a codicil form.
When you notify QAGOMA of your bequest, half of the value specified is honoured as an immediate gift. By making a bequest of more than $8000, you will also be recognised through the corresponding level of Foundation membership.
By confirming your gift, you will enjoy the satisfaction of being acknowledged during your lifetime. We understand that not everyone wishes to be publicly recognised and will ensure that your bequest is confidential, should you wish to remain anonymous.
