Leave a gift in your Will

Leave a legacy of health and hope.

A Will is one of the most meaningful ways to care for your loved ones—and the causes you value most. By remembering Doctors For Nutrition in your Will, you can create a legacy that transforms lives for generations to come.

Why leave a gift?

Because we don’t receive government or corporate funding, the support of people like you helps keep our work independent, transparent, and free from industry influence. By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help sustain this independence and ensure evidence-based education and advocacy can continue for years to come.

Even a small bequest—such as 3% of your estate—can have a powerful impact:

  • Equipping healthcare professionals with evidence-based education
  • Supporting communities to make healthier, sustainable food choices
  • Driving systemic change to prevent chronic disease and protect our planet

Every bequest, large or small, helps create a healthier future for

all. Your generosity is what makes the work we do possible—and your impact can live on forever.

Leave a gift in your Will

Reflecting on my time as a practising doctor and knowing what I know now about the life-saving benefits of whole food plant-based nutrition, it bewilders me that what we eat has long been overlooked and dismissed in mainstream medical intervention.

I co-founded Doctors For Nutrition to create a pivotal shift in the future of healthcare. To a future where whole food plant-based nutrition is adopted as a powerful tool in disease prevention and care. To a future free of preventable disease.

And whilst I plan to continue making huge progress during my lifetime, I’m not giving up even when I’m gone. I am leaving a gift in my Will to Doctors For Nutrition and leaving a lasting legacy to the future of healthcare.

Updating your Will outside Willed

Already have a Will, or live outside Australia? Speak with your solicitor or Will-writing service and ask them to include a gift to Doctors For Nutrition. You can use our suggested wording below as a starting point:

I give [a percentage / specific amount / the residue of my estate / asset] to Doctors For Nutrition Ltd (ABN 97 626 980 345) for its general charitable purposes, and I declare that the receipt of an authorised officer of Doctors For Nutrition shall be a sufficient discharge to my executor.

Please make sure you use our full legal name and registered details in your Will. We recommend seeking independent legal advice to ensure your Will reflects your wishes and is valid in your jurisdiction.

You can also contact us if you would like to let us know about your gift or need our registered organisation details.

Thank you for considering leaving a lasting legacy of health.
