Have you considered including a gift to your community in your Will?
September is Wills Month, so we recommend having a read of the Will Information Pack from Community Foundations of New Zealand - see cdn.blutui.com....
A gift in your Will - a 'Bequest' - to Momentum Waikato is the most effective way you can help 'Create a better Waikato for everyone forever'.
We know the content of a Will is a very personal thing and that your first priority is always to provide for the people you care about. Our offer is something to consider once you're satisfied you've sorted out everything else.
By notifying us of your intent, we can express our gratitude and discuss appropriate recognition.
Bequests to Momentum can be tagged so its resulting and ongoing investment income can go to a specific purpose or charity of your choice, or untagged so we can use it to invest in our transformational projects.
The more we know about your wishes, the better we are able to honour your intentions in full.
Making a bequest is straightforward. If you are interested in having a confidential, obligation-free conversation please contact Janice Lapwood on 022 151 2854 or janice@momentumwaikato.nz.

What local tenants owe Kāinga Ora
Five Waikato Kāinga Ora tenants owe $127,000 in rent between them, with the biggest single debt at $33,000.
Across the region, tenants are $1.58m behind on payments, as Kāinga Ora takes a harder line on those who aren’t keeping up. That includes faster repayment plans for the 2000 tenants nationwide who owe more than 12 weeks of rent.
