Make a Bequest
You do not have to be wealthy to make a bequest. A small contribution can make a big difference.
A bequest is an instruction you make in your will. It instructs that all or part of your estate is to be gifted to a charity or cause. It may be in the form of money, property, shares and debentures, works of art, or other valuables.
The Alcorso Foundation supports research, development and mentoring in the areas of arts, environment and social justice where maximum benefit to the community at large is demonstrated. Your bequest may nominate an area of your choice and it may form the basis of a scholarship, award, project or residency.
A bequest to the Alcorso Foundation will ensure individuals continue to excel and contribute to building sustainable, healthy and creative communities. Your legacy of care and concern will continue through the ongoing support for individuals and organisations committed to the arts, environment and social justice in Tasmania.
