Make a Lasting Impact with a Bequest to Saint Giles
Bequest Programme
Leaving a bequest to Saint Giles is a powerful way to ensure that we continue providing essential services and support to disabled individuals well into the future. Through your bequest, you can create a meaningful legacy that directly benefits those in need.
What Is a Bequest?
A bequest is a gift you leave in your will to an individual or organisation, expressing your wish to provide financial support after your passing. By including Saint Giles in your will, you help sustain our mission to empower disabled individuals for years to come.
How to Make a Bequest
After ensuring the needs of your loved ones are met, you can choose to make a bequest to Saint Giles in various forms:
- A specified sum of money
- Specific valuable items
- A percentage of your estate
- The residue of your estate
- The proceeds of a life insurance policy
Any bequest you make is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward our efforts to provide meaningful support to the disabled community.
Tax Benefits of Bequests
Saint Giles is registered with SARS as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO 130000783). This means that the value of any bequest made to Saint Giles is deducted from your estate’s value before estate duty is calculated, offering tax benefits to your estate.
We encourage bequests to be made in favor of our general operations, rather than for a specific purpose. This ensures we can allocate funds where they are most needed at the time.

When making a bequest to us, it is important to use our full registered name:
