Charitable giving in Wills has a big impact on UNICEF’s work. By partnering with us and donating your time and expertise, you can make a lasting impact on the lives of children in more than 190 countries. 

What is the GoodWILL Project?

The GoodWILL Project brings together lawyers who want to make a difference with clients who hope to leave the world a better place. Our goal is to encourage more people to include a gift to UNICEF Australia in their Will in order to provide vital support for vulnerable children across the globe. 

For the duration of the partnership, our GoodWILL Project solicitor partners offer to prepare simple Wills, free of charge, for people who leave a bequest to UNICEF Australia. Research suggests that a significant portion of Australians would consider leaving a charitable gift in their Will if asked by their solicitor at the time of preparation – an opportunity for us to make a real impact.
