Why Donate?
Make a Real Impact Today
The Healthcare Otago Charitable Trust is an effective and sustainable way for individuals and organisations to leave gifts and legacies and to ensure those funds make a real impact on the health and well-being of communities across the Otago region. The capital from the endowment funds remains intact, and the distribution of the ongoing interest is distributed into grants. These grants are given according to the wishes of the donor.
General Donations
Every donation makes a difference. Contribute any amount through our website to support health and wellbeing initiatives across Otago. Your generosity helps create a healthier future for our community.
Create Your Own Endowment Fund
You can create your own endowment fund to give to the health care you care about. This is easier and less expensive that starting your own private trust. Further, you are relieved of all the usual overheads such as accounts, tax, audit, charitable registration and investment management.
Donate To an Existing Fund
Alternatively you can donate to an already existing fund.
Donations to the Trust are also a practical option for organisations which are winding up and are required to distribute the surplus consistent with their rules.
Leave a Legacy
A bequest to The Healthcare Otago Charitable Trust is an opportunity to leave a legacy behind for the benefit of people of the Otago region. Bequests support a range health related initiatives and services to benefit the community.
