Footscray Community Arts Bequest Program
Art for All-Ways
At Footscray Community Arts, we believe in the power of art to shape futures and build more inclusive communities. For over 50 years, we’ve been a home for bold ideas, underrepresented voices, and art that matters.
When you leave a gift in your Will to Footscray Community Arts, you’re ensuring that the next generation of artists, storytellers, and change-makers have a place to grow, connect and create.
What is a Bequest?
A bequest is a way to leave a lasting gift for an individual or organisation through your Will. It is a meaningful way to support something that matters to you and help ensure it continues to make a difference for future generations.
Leaving a bequest for Footscray Community Arts is a personal and enduring act of generosity which supports our survival as an organisation, our legacy and a shared belief for the future.
Bequests can help us unlock the kind of transformational projects that often sit just out of reach — waiting for the right moment, and the right support. When you leave a gift in your Will to Footscray Community Arts, you’re ensuring that the next generation of artists, storytellers, and change-makers have a place to grow, connect and create.
A Legacy of Creativity.
A Future Shaped by You.
Your gift could enable a new commission from a local d/Deaf or disabled artist, vibrant First Nations-led festival on our outdoor stage, new access pathways so everyone can experience the power of art, or a game-changing education program for young people in the West.
Many people choose to leave either a specified amount or a small percentage of their estate (often around 5%) to support the causes they care about.
Whether you choose to let us know or remain anonymous, your generosity will be honoured with care.
