Testimonials

"Wills are generally very private topics. However, I have been so impressed with The Ballarat Foundation that I am prepared to "go public" with my intention to leave a bequest to the Foundation. I challenge you to also consider a bequest to the Ballarat region's very own Foundation.

The concept of a Community Foundation suits Ballarat and surrounding communities so well for all the obvious reasons. I love the idea, and potential, that all bequests and donations are invested and only the income used for grants. This means my bequest becomes a permanent legacy, providing a benefit to the community forever."

"When Jack Borbidge first received the news that he had cancer he had imagined that his wife Millie would be able to enjoy the money they had made through years of astute investments. Jack and Millie did not have children and when Millie died unexpectedly, Jack needed to take some quick decisions about how to distribute his fortune. He wanted to make a difference and he needed the means to disburse his money.

With the help of The Ballarat Foundation he was able to set up the Jack and Millie Borbidge Fund as sub-fund of the Foundation and to bequeath more money via his will, ensuring that he and Millie lefta suitable legacy to Ballarat."
