A bequest is a gift made to The Heart Research Institute from your Estate, through a mention in your Will. Gifts in the form of bequest to The Heart Research Institute help accelerate the vital research projects we undertake and support new methods of detecting, preventing and reversing heart disease. It is your legacy for helping future generations to enjoy a longer and more fulfilling life.

Many people, particularly those who have supported organisations during their lifetime, choose to leave bequests of varying forms and sizes to one or a number of organisations. Leaving a bequest is a way of ensuring that after you have remembered your own loved ones, you can continue to support the causes that are special to you, even after you have gone. Arranging a bequest is quite straightforward. It can be included when you first make your Will or be added to your existing Will as a codicil.

Cardiovascular disease, which encompasses heart attack and stroke, still kills more people every year than any other condition, including cancer. The publicity you might have heard recently compared cancer to ‘heart attack’ only. Cardiovascular disease is still Australia’s (and the world’s) number one killer.

The Heart Research Institute is a medical research institute (MRI) whose mission is to improve global health through excellence in cutting-edge medical research. The focus of our research is to understanding the causes and complications of cardiovascular disease.

The Heart Research Institute does not seek to educate the general public about lifestyle factors, our role is in trying to understand the scientific reasons that make cardiovascular disease Australia’s (and the world’s) number one killer. Because today’s research is tomorrow’s cure.

The Heart Foundation is the peak heart health charity dedicated to reducing the number of Australians living with, or dying from cardiovascular disease in Australia. Donations from all sectors of the community help the Heart Foundation to fund research, support health professionals in their work, improve patient care and help Australians to live healthier lifestyles.

The Heart Foundation does not conduct research itself so as to remain independent and unbiased, but is the largest non-government funding body for cardiovascular disease research in Australia.
