Leave a Legacy: Support Rowing in Otago for Generations to Come

Your Legacy Can Live On…

Since 1892, North End Rowing Club has played a vital role in fostering rowing across the Otago region. By including the North End Rowing Club Charitable Trust in your will, you can help ensure that the sport continues to grow providing inclusive, community-based opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy and excel in rowing for years to come.

What Is a Bequest?

When creating or updating your will, you decide how your assets will be distributed. While providing for family and loved ones is a priority, many people also choose to leave a lasting impact by supporting a cause they care about.

A bequest is a gift made through your will — such as a percentage of your estate, the residue of your estate, or a specific amount, asset, or property — directed to a charitable organisation like the North End Rowing Club Charitable Trust.

The North End Rowing Club Charitable Trust

The North End Rowing Club Charitable Trust was established to receive and manage bequests and donations in support of the sport of rowing and rowing education within the Otago region.

Your gift will help to:

  • Foster the development of rowing across the Otago community;

  • Support rowing education initiatives, including programs in local schools;

  • Provide opportunities for aspiring rowing athletes to grow, participate, and succeed.

The Trust carefully manages and preserves the capital it receives. Your bequest will remain invested, with only the income used to support charitable activities — ensuring your legacy continues to benefit the community for generations to come.

By supporting the Trust, you are helping to build a stronger, more inclusive future — one that inspires participation, achievement, and lifelong connection to sport.

How Can I Make a Bequest?

There are several ways to leave a bequest to the North End Rowing Club Charitable Trust:

  • A percentage of your total estate;

  • A percentage of the residue of your estate (what remains after other gifts and expenses);

  • A specific gift — such as cash, property, shares, or personal items of value.

We recommend seeking legal advice when preparing your will to ensure your wishes are clearly recorded.

Thank you for considering a legacy that supports rowing, education, and community development in Otago.
