Donate to help fund the mission of Sisters in Crime Australia
Sisters in Crime Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that receives no ongoing government or other funding.
We rely on money we raise from memberships, donations and events to further our work in celebrating women’s crime writing and supporting authors.
Leave a bequest
By leaving a gift in your Will to Sisters in Crime Australia, you will create a lasting impact. Gifts will assist us to continue to hold live and online author events and promote the voice of Australian female crime writing for future generations.
There are several ways in which to leave a gift in your Will:
- A residuary bequest – leave all or a percentage of the remainder of your estate to Sisters in Crime Australia.
- A percentage of your estate – leave a nominated portion or fixed percentage of your estate to Sisters in Crime Australia. Such a gift will remain inflation-proof and it will be less likely that your Will requires updating in the future.
- A specific bequest – leave a specific sum of money or specified items such as artwork, property, or shares to Sisters in Crime Australia.
