Over the years, the Penguin Foundation has been a beneficiary of generous gifts in Wills. A recent bequest allowed for a new koala rehabilitation pen to support koalas who were affected by bushfires. This meaningful gift ensures that future species are given a second chance.

When you include a gift in your Will, you’re planting the seed of something meaningful. Even before it grows, it gives you something back - a deep sense of purpose and the quiet satisfaction of knowing you’ve made a thoughtful, generous decision that reflects what matters most to you, right now.

Leaving a gift in your Will – also known as a charitable bequest – is a deeply personal way to support the causes that matter to you. It’s not about how much you give — it’s about the lasting change that your generosity helps create. Whether it’s a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a meaningful item, your gift becomes a seed that grows into something bigger than you.

I’ve been fascinated by nature since childhood, watching every wildlife documentary I could, even in black and white! That wonder and awe has only deepened over the years, along with concern for the challenges our environment faces. Since retiring to Milawul (Phillip Island), I’ve volunteered with Nature Parks and seen firsthand the care, integrity and impact of their work. Leaving a gift to the Penguin Foundation in my Will was an easy decision. Mother nature has given me so much pleasure and joy it feels only right to give something back and help protect it for the future. – Penguin Foundation Supporter
