Would you like to know if bequests to your charity never arrived and if they could be recovered? We are calling for charities to participate in research on why some gifts are promised, but never materialise when a bequestor passes away. After a successful pilot, the project is expanding with support from Philanthropy Australia and Include a Charity. The project will identify missing gifts, the stories behind them and contribute to the case for a more transparent probate process. There is a marginal participation fee but reach out if cost is prohibitive. If you wish to participate email [email protected] by 3 May 2024.
