Gifts in Wills

Leave a Lasting Legacy for Aboriginal Communities

A bequest to ATWA becomes long-term capital for Aboriginal tourism — funding multi-year commitments to operators, communities and Country across Western Australia.

Why a bequest matters

A gift of generational life-change

Bequests are the single most powerful form of giving ATWA receives. Unlike grants tied to a single program year, a gift in your will becomes long-term capital — funding multi-year commitments to Aboriginal tourism operators across Western Australia.

You can leave a percentage of your estate, a residual gift, a specific sum, or a particular asset. Every gift, of every size, makes a difference.

We recommend speaking to your solicitor or financial adviser. ATWA is happy to provide suggested wording and answer any questions directly.
