Planned giving

Consider a gift in your Will

There are many ways to support the Brain Health Research Centre during your lifetime and one particularly meaningful way is through a gift in your Will.

Once you have made provisions for your family and friends, you may wish to leave a gift in your Will to support the next generation of research leaders who will be discovering and developing improved treatments and cures for neurological diseases. You may choose to designate your gift to a particular aspect of the Centre's research, such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, or any other neurological disorders.

If you are considering leaving a legacy to the BHRC that will help to fund research to find cures for the 1 in 5 people that have a neurological disease in their lifetime, please contact us at bequests@otago.ac.nz.
