The ‘Fiona Stanley Circle’ is named in honour of Fiona Stanley AC, a world renowned researcher, 2003 Australian of the Year, and Co-Founder and Patron of the Telethon Kids Institute.
The Fiona Stanley Circle consists of a number of special people who have included the Institute among the individuals and causes provided for in their wills. You are invited to join them.
Joining the Fiona Stanley Circle by leaving a bequest to the Telethon Kids Institute allows your support for children’s health and research to continue beyond your years. Bequests are some of the most valuable gifts we receive, and each and every one of them allows the Institute to continue its world class research, helping to provide both hope and answers for children and their families in our community.
No matter the size of your bequest, as a member of the Fiona Stanley Circle, you're welcomed as a valued member of the wider Telethon Kids family. To highlight our genuine appreciation, you're given an exclusive view into the ground-breaking work the organisation is doing through regular updates, as well as opportunities to meet the Institute's leading researchers.
Including the Telethon Kids Institute in your will is easy – but the impact has the potential to be life-changing for so many children and families.
A How-to Guide
If you would like to provide for Telethon Kids Institute in your Will, there are various ways in which this can be done. You could leave a gift of:
- A specific amount of money
- A specific asset, such as a property, the proceeds of a life insurance policy, stocks or shares
- The remainder of your estate (giving the Institute the remainder of your estate after you have bequeathed specific things to your loved ones)
- A percentage of your total estate
- Your entire estate
What you choose to give Telethon Kids Institute from your estate, whatever it may be, can be referred to as a “bequest” or a “legacy”.
We recommend that you use the following wording in your will for your bequest:
“I give [insert your bequest] to Telethon Kids Institute of Northern Entrance, Perth Children's Hospital, 15 Hospital Avenue, Nedlands WA 6009 (ABN 86 009 278 755), to be applied for unrestricted, general charitable purposes. In respect of such legacy, I direct that the receipt of a duly authorised officer shall be a sufficient discharge to my Executors.”
