Bequests - The Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation

Bequests

One of the easiest ways to make a gift to support research into brain diseases is by leaving The Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation a bequest in your Will.

There are several ways you can do this. You can (1) give a specific amount of money to RMHNSF; (2) give a specific item of property to RMHNSF; or (3) give a specified percentage of the residue of your estate to RMHNSF (the residue of your estate is that which is left over after all specific gifts have been made, whether charitable or non-charitable). We welcome you specifying which area of brain research you wish to support – brain tumour, stroke, epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, or generally to brain research research.
