Bequests
Create a legacy of generosity for those in need by leaving a donation in your will.
Looking to arrange a bequest?
Leaving a bequest to the St Vincent de Paul Society is a great opportunity to help those in need by making a lasting impact, and creating a legacy that lives on.
You can leave a bequest to be used at the discretion of the St Vincent de Paul Society, or you can share with us how you wish for your donation to help.
A bequest is organised through a solicitor, however, we can assist by providing you direction on how to initiate a bequest.

Testimonial from Martin Ryan
I was introduced to Vinnies by my father, who was a lifelong supporter. When he passed, I felt compelled to continue his good work, both with regular donations and my own bequest.
I see Vinnies work first-hand in my own parish of Our Lady of the Way North Sydney, especially for disadvantaged people living in the midst of us. I personally know many of the Vinnies leaders and volunteers in my parish, and they are fine men and women. I hope to join them in their practical good works, when I am a little older and my family commitments allow.
I wholeheartedly commend a Vinnies bequest to you.
