Willpower can help future generations continue your work.Printed on 100% Recycled Paper

You have the power to shape Australias future.Thats why the GetUp WILLPOWER legacy fund has been created. Its by and for GetUp members to advance Australia fair, not just into the next election but the next decade and beyond.

We know that political parties are losing their members and their currency. But an independent movement accountable only to its members and powered by the heart, energy and generosity of everyday people will be as relevant tomorrow as it is today.

We know the issues of the day will evolve. But we also couldnt be more certain that a robust, visionary and independent force for democracy, justice and sustainability will matter still. Or that the need to hold power to account and unite Australians around a higher vision of what our country can be will remain essential.

Bequests make up an important part of how one generation passes its baton to the next; the gains weve made, as well as our hopes for new horizons yet to come. You dont need to have amassed a vast fortune to make a vast difference: like everything GetUp members do, our power and impact come from each of us giving what we can.

Your WILLPOWER will invigorate tomorrows keepers of a fair and just Australia. It will enable GetUp to plan ahead with confidence, be bold and remain fiercely independent as we face the challenges of the next decade and beyond.

If you feel strongly about justice, sustainability and fairness, this is your opportunity to take the work weve begun forward and invest in a strong democracy for future generations.

How to leave a bequest.When making out your Will, your first priority is to ensure that it reflects how you want to look after your family and friends. Once you have done that, including a bequest to GetUp is an easy process. Whatever the size, every bequest is important to us.

You can either include the bequest when you write your Will, or simply add one as a codicil to your existing Will. In either case, you should seek professional advice from a legal adviser, to ensure your wishes are recorded in a legally binding way.

We think the GetUp community are amazing, and if youre intending to make a gift in your WIll we would like to know so we can say thank you, keep you well informed about our work and invite you to special GetUp Legacy events.

If you prefer to remain anonymous, we will honour this also.
