Friends, what will your legacy be?

Dear Friends

At Support Act, the heart and hand of the Australian music industry, we provide essential support to musicians, managers, crew and music workers who are doing it tough.

We exist, and are able to do our work, because of the generosity of our supporters. Without this crucial backing, we would have to severely scale back our efforts.

Some of our supporters recognise that an additional and very powerful way to show their support is by leaving a gift to Support Act in their will.

We often refer to this act of generosity as ‘legacy giving’ because it leaves a lasting impact that echoes for years to come.

Many of us think about writing a will, yet taking the initial steps can be daunting.

That’s why Support Act has partnered with Gathered Here, a leading Australian online will-writing platform. Through this partnership, we offer you a free, legally binding will with complimentary and unlimited updates for life. The process is simple and takes just 10 minutes to complete.

When deciding to leave a gift in your will, we encourage you to prioritise the wellbeing of your loved ones. Once their needs are met, you may consider allocating a percentage of your estate to causes close to your heart, such as Support Act.

Your contribution, whether large or small, will help sustain our mission and make a positive impact on the lives of those we support.

Even if you’re not yet ready to commit to a charitable gift, take advantage of this opportunity to complete your will for free. Regardless of whether you choose to include a charitable gift, finalising your will is an act of kindness towards those closest to you.

We understand that writing a will online may not be for everyone, so if you have any questions or wish to explore the option of including a gift in your will for Support Act, please feel free to contact me at 0411 101 052 or via email. Additional information is also available on our website.

Your unwavering support means the world to us, and we are truly grateful.

Best wishes,

Clive Miller
CEO
