Baptist Care SA fully appreciates the special role that members of the legal profession play in facilitating charitable bequests. Thank you. 

When advising your client, please ask how their gift should be directed:

• A gift to Baptist Care SA

Gifts to Baptist Care SA are carefully considered by our Board and allocated according to need, unless specified by you.

• A gift to Baptist Care (SA) Foundation

Gifts to our Foundation are placed in an Endowment Fund for the long-term benefit of Baptist Care SA. Every year a minimum of 4% of the revenue generated from the fund is given to Baptist Care SA.  How this is used is determined by the Baptist Care SA Board, but is broadly directed to building organisational capacity and community engagement.

All gifts are diligently managed and will make a genuine and transformational difference.
