Leave a Legacy of Hope
Few acts are as meaningful and far-reaching as leaving a gift in your Will. It allows you to invest in a child’s future and ensure that your compassion and kindness continue well beyond your lifetime.
One particularly powerful way to make a lasting difference is by leaving a bequest to the Children’s Hospital Trust. As a non-profit organisation, we are committed to helping ensure that children across the Western Cape and beyond have access to high-quality healthcare.
A Simple Gift with a Profound Impact
Leaving a bequest to the Children’s Hospital Trust is a simple yet remarkable gesture. Charitable bequests are among our most critical sources of long-term funding, enabling us to plan for the Hospital’s future needs and help ensure the sustainability of life-changing paediatric healthcare.
Your legacy gift can take the form of:
- A specific amount of money
- A percentage of your estate
- Property, shares or other assets
A simple act can have a profound and lasting impact.

Help Shape the Future of Children’s Healthcare
A legacy gift provides stability and allows us to plan ahead. Your contribution can help us:
- Invest in life-saving medical equipment
- Expand and improve healthcare facilities
- Fund critical medical research
- Train healthcare professionals
- Support children and families in distress
- Advance paediatric medicine and healthcare services
Through your generosity, more children can receive the specialised care they need to heal, grow and flourish.
The Financial Benefits of Giving
A donation or bequest made to a registered public benefit organisation, such as the Children’s Hospital Trust, may qualify for certain tax and estate-duty benefits. Assets donated to an approved public benefit organisation may also qualify for capital gains tax relief.
Your financial adviser, attorney or estate planner can explain the benefits relevant to your personal circumstances and help you structure your gift appropriately.
Your Gift Goes Where It Matters Most
When you donate to the Children’s Hospital Trust, 100% of your donation goes towards funding projects that change children’s lives.
By including the Trust in your Will, you reach into the future and touch countless young lives. Your legacy will live on through every child who is given the opportunity to heal and thrive.
