The Ready Foundation
The Ready Foundation is the charitable arm of the AFL SportsReady Group of Companies. A gift in your will to The Ready Foundation is a powerful way to help transform the lives of young people through targeted and culturally supportive services that ensure all young Australians can fully participate in employment, education and society.
Your generosity can help young people who are facing barriers to education, training and employment access the support, skills and opportunities they need to build a positive future.
A gift in your will, large or small, can make a lasting difference — helping ensure that young people have the opportunity to discover their potential, build confidence and take their next step towards work and independence.
We encourage you to discuss your wishes with your family and loved ones. It is also important to seek professional legal advice when making or updating your will.
There are several ways you can include The Ready Foundation in your will. You can choose the option that best suits your circumstances and wishes.
Speak with your solicitor or other qualified professional about including your chosen gift in your will. They can help ensure your wishes are accurately reflected.
If you decide to leave a gift in your will to The Ready Foundation, we would love to hear from you. Letting us know gives us the opportunity to thank you for your generosity and keep you connected with the impact of your gift.
There are several ways you can leave a gift in your will, including:
A gift of all or part of what remains of your estate after your other gifts, debts and expenses have been taken care of.
You can leave a percentage of your estate or the residue of your estate to The Ready Foundation.
You can leave a specific dollar amount to The Ready Foundation.
You can leave a particular asset, such as shares, property or another specified item.
The wording you use will depend on your personal circumstances and the type of gift you choose. We recommend speaking with your solicitor when preparing or updating your will.
Your solicitor may wish to use wording such as:
“I give [insert details of gift] to The Ready Foundation Ltd (ABN 58 608 798 116) as of Suite 3, Level 7, 276 Flinders Street, Melbourne 3000, for its general purposes.”
Your solicitor can ensure the appropriate wording and legal details are included for your circumstances.
No. You are not required to tell us if you have included The Ready Foundation in your will.
However, if you choose to let us know, we would be delighted to acknowledge your generosity and thank you personally. It also gives us the opportunity to keep you informed about the difference your support is helping to make for young people.
Most importantly, your decision to leave a gift in your will is a meaningful investment in the future — helping The Ready Foundation continue creating opportunities for young people who need them most.
