BEQUESTS

Gifts that create a legacy for the future.

Why make a bequest to Tauranga Riding for the Disabled?

By making a bequest in your Will to Tauranga Riding for the Disabled you continue to help for years to come to those who are challenged by disability or are at-risk within our community.

A bequest is simply a gift made through your Will. It can be a specific amount, a proportion of your estate, a particular asset or the residue of your estate after you have provided for your family and friends.

Who will manage your bequest?

Bequest funds are managed by the Tauranga RDA Foundation – a registered charitable trust. When a bequest is received, and unless a specific direction is given as to how the bequest should be used, it will, together with other bequests and memorial gifts be invested as per the Foundation Investment Policy, which is controlled by a capable Board of Trustees together with our advisors such as Craigs Investment Partners.

The Tauranga RDA Foundation was established in 2012.

Its purpose is to:

1. Act as guardian of the long term assets of Tauranga Riding for the Disabled
2. Promote Tauranga Riding for the Disabled as a worthy recipient of bequests.
3. Raise funds for major projects.
4. Assist Tauranga Riding for the Disabled wherever possible.
5. Invest and manage funds to secure the future sustainability of Tauranga Riding for the Disabled.

The Tauranga RDA Foundation is focused on the establishment of a robust investment portfolio to provide a return capable of contributing in a significant way towards the RDA’s operating expenses and ensuring a degree of sustainability as the organization moves into the future. Located as we are in one of the fastest growing areas of the country the predicted need is great and growing. The Foundation is committed to ensure Tauranga RDA is able to meet that need.
