Legacies and Bequests
By remembering the Sir David Martin Foundation in your will, you will be helping young people to rebuild their lives. Many kids have no home, no love or family support and your gift can turn this around to create a much happier future.
Sir David knew the difference one bequest can make. In his time as Governor of New South Wales he saw the devastating impact of homelessness on young people's lives and used his will to do something direct and enduring about it. Only four days before his death in 1990 he arranged for the establishment of Sir David Martin Foundation, a legacy that has brought hope, help and comfort to countless young Australians.
You can do this too. No matter how large or small a bequest in your will would be greatly appreciated and make a mark on the future of young Australians physical and emotional wellbeing. For more information please download 'How to Make a Bequest to the Sir David Martin Foundation'.
