Bequests

A bequest enables QYO to provide important and formative experiences for future generations of young musicians. It is easy to include QYO as a beneficiary in your will.

Some examples of how bequests have assisted QYO in recent years include

• Funded QYO’s National Youth Concerto Competition every year since 2004
• Enabled QYO to purchase a new Marimba (percussion instrument)
• Enabled QYO to purchase much needed office equipment
• Funded scholarships for QYO members

 Bequests can be made in a number of ways:

• A percentage or residual of an estate.
• A nominated dollar amount.
• Shares or bonds.
• Property or real estate.
• Items of value such as paintings or jewellery.
• A life insurance policy.

The following wording may be used as a guide and may assist your legal adviser in the preparation of your Will:
"I give free of all duties and taxes to the Queensland Youth Orchestra Council (specify dollar amount or percentage of estate or describe property)"
