Bequests
A Bequest to the Newington College Foundation is a substantial and lasting way of contributing to the future of the College and can be made in a variety of ways to reflect a person’s particular wishes.
A Bequest is a gift that can be either named or anonymous. It is an instruction contained within a Will and specifically reserves part of an Estate for a particular beneficiary.
A Bequest can be:
- Nominated sum of money
- Percentage or residual of an Estate
- Assets such as real estate, shares, bonds or other personal property
Bequests are usually directed to the Foundation for use at its discretion. Unencumbered gifts allow the Foundation to utilise donations in areas of particular need. Such gifts provide the Foundation with the flexibility to direct funds to projects which the College Council and the Headmaster feel are in most need of assistance.
Leave a Legacy
A Bequest is an opportunity for every member of the Newington Community to make a tangible and lasting gift to the College. It shows you have reached out to leave a legacy that will endure long after your lifetime and remains a very special way of securing the future.

- Change lives for generations to come – education changes lives
- Assets remain in your control during your lifetime
- No effect on your cash reserves for retirement
