Make a Bequest

For some, a bequest to the Newborn Intensive Care Foundation (NICF) may take the form of a designated amount or asset. For others, it may be a small percentage of their estate; say 2%, which would be a significant contribution to the Newborn Intensive Care Foundation but would still leave 98% to family.

Obviously, a bequest requires thoughtful consideration and independent consultation, but the NICF can provide advice on options for you to discuss with your family and solicitors.

To discuss making a bequest to the NICF in your will, pleased contact the Chairman of the Foundation on 0414 446 662 or at info@newborn.org.au
