Making a Bequest

When you make a gift in your Will (a bequest) you ensure future generations will continue to benefit from your generosity. Your gift means further research and rapid scientific transfer of findings into policies and decisions that we need today.

This includes earlier diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of oral health conditions including oral cancer and innovative approaches to identifying diabetes in the dental clinic. Our researchers need dedicated and generous donors like you to make this research possibility a reality.

When writing your Will it is important to obtain legal advice, to ensure that your Will is valid and that it will achieve your wish. It is also important to consider the needs of your family when making your Will, and let them know if you decide to leave a bequest to the eviDent Foundation. The eviDent Foundation cannot provide you with legal advice, but we have provided suggested statements as a guide to assist you with the process.

Please refer to our Bequests – a lasting contribution brochure for further information.

In making a gift in your Will, the eviDent Foundation undertakes to always:

1. Respect and protect your privacy.
