Change the lives of
our future generation

A bequest to Raise Foundation is a meaningful way to support and change the lives of young people enabling them to grow up with the tools and skills they need to survive adolescence and thrive in adulthood.

As the mental health crisis continues to grow and society around us continues to change, the challenges for teenagers continue to stack up against them. We can’t stop change, but with your gift we can help young people cope with it.

Giving the gift of a mentor is to give life’s most precious gift – the gift of time. Time spent with a mentor, being heard and understood can be life saving and the tools they pick up can be carried all through life with them – a long lasting positive impact.

 

 

A memorial fund celebrating Julie Pascoe

Julie actively helped many as both a mentor and friend, sometimes offering counsel and sometimes just being there. The idea of positively influencing a broader set of young people, particularly those who might need a little extra help, is just the type of thing she would have liked as her legacy.

In celebration of Julie’s life and passion, her friends, family and colleagues helped to fund Raise mentoring programs and provide the gift of a mentor to 20 young people in 2021. In addition, her husband Wayne (featured below), sister Karen and some of Julie’s friends participated in Raise programs as mentors in 2021.

A force of nature with a sparkling smile

 

 

 

 

How to leave a gift
to Raise Foundation

We understand that a gift in your Will is a big decision and for those already decided there are three main ways to give a gift to Raise and help young people across Australia.

  • Residual

    Is a gift of the remaining - or a percentage of - your remaining estate once your loved ones and expenses have been taken care of.

     

  • Specific

    Is a specific bequest made by simply stating the dollar amount in your Will that you wish to leave to Raise Foundation.

     

  • Asset

    Is a gift of a specific asset, for example real estate, shares or bonds, or an item of particular value.
