What is a Bequest?
A bequest to the Surf Life Saving cause is a visionary investment in its future.
By including the Surf Life Saving Foundation in your estate planning, your foresight and generosity will continue to strengthen the traditions and values held by lifesavers since 1907.
Equipment has changed from the reel line and belt to IRB’s with access to Wave Runners, Jet Boats and Helicopters. Despite all the changes the importance of teamwork remains. The future will bring more change and we need the resources to embrace it.
Supporters may choose to leave a set amount; a percentage of their estate or simply the residual (what is left after all of their wishes are attended to).

Sometimes the person making the bequest wants their donation to go to a local beach, or to train future surf lifesavers or to update rescue equipment. In many cases people ask Surf Lifesaving to simply use it where it is needed.
Every gift we receive from our supporters – large or small – is important to us.
Circle of Friends
If you wish, you can join a group of like-minded individuals who care about safety on our beaches and want to safeguard a uniquely Australian tradition, called the 'Circle of Friends'. The group is made up of people who have confirmed that they have left a bequest to Surf Life Saving. As a member you will receive special recognition and be kept informed of not only what is happening now in Surf Lifesaving but receive reports on future trends so that you are aware of what may be happening when your bequest is received. To join, simply advise the Bequest Manager that you have left a bequest.
