Legacy Club

Donors who plan to leave a gift in their will are invited to join the Victoria Legacy Club.

The Legacy Club was established to acknowledge and thank those alumni and friends who have told us they intend to leave a gift in their will to Victoria University of Wellington.

The Club offers opportunities for members to meet others who have made similar provision for the University in their will, to keep in touch with what is happening at the University, and to set a philanthropic example that others may choose to follow.

In recognition of their support, members of the Legacy Club receive:

  • invitations to University and Foundation events, including a special function held annually for members
  • acknowledgement on this website and in the Foundation’s annual Report on Philanthropy.

We will of course respect your wishes should you prefer to remain anonymous.

Would you consider leaving a gift to the University in your will? Gifting as little as 1% of your estate—once you have taken care of your loved ones—could make a tremendous difference to the future of all New Zealanders.

To talk about leaving a bequest, contact Grace Brennan at grace.brennan@vuw.ac.nz or call her on +644 886 5313.
