Gifts, wills, bequests and endowments
Gifts, wills, bequests and endowments can provide significant (and sometimes unexpected) income to charities and not-for-profit organisations.
Our fact sheet provides an overview of some of the main legal issues that may arise for community organisations when they receive a gift or receive a bequest or endowment from a person's will, including:
- what to do when offered a gift, bequest or endowment and whether you must accept the gift, bequest or endowment
- gifts, bequests and endowments with conditions
- whether changing organisational structure will affect gifts, bequests or endowments, and
- whether DGR status is required to accept gifts and how gifts, wills or endowments are treated for tax purposes
