Bequeath Money to Kiwi Recovery

There are a variety of options available to you in the way in which you can help kiwi through your Will. 

How will your gift be used?

Over the past 200 years, kiwi numbers have plummeted – from millions to about 60,000 in 2005.  Each decade their numbers halve in areas where predators are not being controlled. Already kiwi have disappeared from many places on New Zealand’s mainland and, if this rate continues, kiwi will be extinct on the mainland within a lifetime.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that predator management/control can reverse the declines.  It’s a proven technique but takes funds to sustain these efforts.

The Bank of New Zealand Save the Kiwi Trust relies entirely upon donations from the public and funds provided by sponsors.  It is in the unique position of being able to guarantee that every cent donated goes directly to kiwi work. This is thanks to the sponsorship agreement with Bank of New Zealand whereby they pay all of the administrative and promotional costs for the Trust.

You can be assured that your legacy will go towards programs and charitable volunteer organisations who are working hard to ensure that our national icon is around for generations to come.

How can I provide a gift for kiwi?

There are a variety of options available to you in the way in which you can help kiwi through your Will, including:

• Bequeathing all or part of the residuary of your estate.  The residuary is the estate that remains after all expenses, debts and other specific bequests have been settled. A residue may be shared amongst other beneficiaries by percentage.
• Bequeathing a specified sum of money as a particular bequest.  This may require revision due to inflation or changing circumstances.
• Bequeathing a particular item such as: the proceeds of a life assurance policy, stocks and shares, works of art, vehicles, jewellery, homes ...

 Examples of language that you could use in your Will for each type of donation described above are:

"I give [all] [[insert percentage] of the residue] to The Bank of New Zealand Save the Kiwi Trust for its general purposes and I declare that the receipt of the appointed officer of the Trust shall be full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy."

"I give the sum of $[insert amount] to The Bank of New Zealand Save the Kiwi Trust for its general purposes and I declare that the receipt of the appointed officer of the Trust shall be full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy."

"I give a specified bequest of [insert description of object or property] to The Bank of New Zealand Save the Kiwi Trust for its general purposes and I declare that the receipt of the appointed officer of the Trust shall be full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy."

In preparing your Will, you should consult your lawyer to ensure that your wishes are clearly and correctly recorded.
