make a bequest

bequests - mco

If you have been inspired and uplifted by the MCO in the past, we hope that you will remember our future and consider making a gift to the Orchestra in your Will. Your gift will enable us to ensure that future generations will benefit from your generosity and that the Orchestra you know and love will continue to flourish for many years to come.

You may wish to leave a general legacy or to specify support for a particular program. If you do decide to leave a legacy to the MCO, please let us know so that we may acknowledge your gift appropriately, as well as involve you and your family more closely with the Orchestra in your lifetime.

Please contact Stephen Block on 03 9650 3365 or email her at stephen.block@mco.org.au if you would like confidential advice on the appropriate wording for your gift.

Rather than making a Bequest specifically to one of our programs, the following is an example of how you can make a Bequest directly to Melbourne Chamber Orchestra and nominate the purpose for which your bequest is to be used.

'I give to Melbourne Chamber Orchestra:

the sum of (nominate the amount you intend to give or other such provision as may be intended)

or

..... percent of my total estate

or

the residue of my estate

or

(nominate the purpose)

We would be appreciative if the following sentence is included after the Bequest:

"A signed receipt from (name of recipient) shall be an absolute discharge to my trustee".
