Heirloom Life
Start your Will

For charities

Reach supporters at the moment they're thinking about their legacy.

Gifts in Wills are one of the most valuable income streams available to Australian charities. Heirloom puts your cause in front of supporters at exactly the right moment - when they are writing their Will.

The opportunity

Most bequest programs reach people too late.

Traditional bequest marketing tends to reach people years after they have made their Will, or not at all. By then, the conversation is harder and the Will is already signed.

Heirloom is different. We are present at the exact moment of decision - when someone is actively drafting their estate plan and choosing who to include. That is the highest-intent moment in bequest fundraising, and it has historically been out of reach for most charities.

Present at the right moment

Your cause appears to supporters while they are actively drafting their estate plan - not through a cold campaign weeks later.

No disruption to your existing program

We work alongside your bequest team, not instead of it. Supporters can still speak directly to your staff.

Built for Australian charities

We understand DGR requirements, the regulatory environment, and the sensitivities that come with bequest fundraising.

Partnership reporting

We share information about your program's reach as it develops, so your bequest team can understand and build on the results.

How it works

Simple to join. No ongoing effort required.

Supporters act in the moment

Someone who already cares about your cause can add you as a beneficiary in seconds - while the Will is open in front of them.
