By donating to Fulbright New Zealand, you will be supporting talented New Zealanders and Americans in getting the education and experiences they need to meet their full potential in the arts, business, humanities and social sciences, science, technology and many other fields.

Bequest
A bequest is a donation made through your will, and is a thoughtful way of supporting Fulbright and its graduate students after your death.
A bequest may either be designated for a specific Fulbright purpose or be given to the Fulbright New Zealand Trust as an unrestricted gift, allowing Fulbright New Zealand to respond quickly to special opportunities as they arise.
You should consult a lawyer, the Pubic Trust Office, or a trustee company in the drafting of your will, or a codicil to an existing will. This will give you the professional and technical help to ensure that all your wishes are fully met. The following wording is a guideline for you and your lawyer when planning a bequest to Fulbright New Zealand:
“I give the Fulbright New Zealand Trust the sum of $_____/_____% of my residuary estate/the balance of my estate/the following property or assets ______, as an unrestricted gift to the Fulbright New Zealand Trust/to be used for the purpose of _____, for which the receipt of Fulbright New Zealand Trust shall be sufficient discharge to my trustees.”
Please contact Fulbright New Zealand for advice on designating the purpose of your bequest.
Please do let us know if you plan to include the Fulbright New Zealand Trust in your will so that we may thank you formally.
