Leave a gift in your will
Create a lasting legacy
New Zealand has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Yet around 90% of cases can be prevented, and almost all are treatable if detected early.
Planning your estate is an important task. By leaving a gift in your will to support Skin Cancer New Zealand, you can create a lasting legacy—helping to protect more New Zealanders through better prevention, earlier detection, and improved care for generations to come.
Your gift will help to:
- Strengthen prevention across New Zealand so everyone can stay safe in the sun
- Support earlier detection so skin cancers are found sooner
- Improve standards and systems of care so every New Zealander receives high-quality care, no matter who they are or where they live
- Equip healthcare professionals with the skills and resources they need to deliver best-practice care
How to leave a bequest
Planning your estate is a personal and important decision.
We recommend speaking with your lawyer or estate planner to include Skin Cancer New Zealand in your will.
Your lawyer can:
- Advise on the best way to structure your gift while looking after your loved ones first
- Modify your existing will to reflect your wishes to leave a gift for Skin Cancer New Zealand
When speaking to your lawyer, you’ll need to provide our full legal name: Skin Cancer New Zealand Incorporated
Even a small gift can make a lasting impact.
