I thought it would be a good idea to share some information regarding our bequest (gifts in will) program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Santa Sabina College has long been sustained by the generosity, vision and faith of its community. One of the most meaningful and enduring ways our community has contributed to the future of the College is by leaving a gift in their will (also known as a bequest). Gifts in wills enable donors to make a lasting impact beyond their lifetime while continuing to prioritise their loved ones. Such gifts reflect a deep connection to the College\u2019s Dominican values of truth, justice, community and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bequests provide Santa Sabina College with long-term financial sustainability and flexibility. Unlike other donations, gifts in wills allow the College to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>invest in transformational projects rather than short-term needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>support scholarships and bursaries for students who would otherwise be unable to access a Santa Sabina education<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>maintain and enhance learning facilities across the campus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>strengthen wellbeing, pastoral care and faith formation programs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>respond to future educational needs with confidence and vision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many bequests are unrestricted, enabling the College to apply funds where they are needed most at the time they are realised. This makes gifts in wills one of the most strategically important forms of philanthropy for the College. They amount to a powerful expression of faith, connection and generosity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We extend our sincere gratitude to all who have chosen, or are considering choosing, to include Santa Sabina College in their will. Your legacy is one of hope, opportunity and enduring impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-issuu wp-block-embed-issuu\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Santa Sabina College&#039;s Gift in Will Program\" src=\"https:\/\/e.issuu.com\/embed.html?u=santasabinacollege&#038;d=santa_sabina_college_s_gift_in_will_program\" style=\"border:none; width: 1000px; height: 767px;\" allow=\"clipboard-write,allow-top-navigation,allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation,allow-downloads,allow-scripts,allow-same-origin,allow-popups,allow-modals,allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox,allow-forms\"  allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>George Ayoub<\/strong><br>Director of Development<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For further information please contact me on 9745 0232 or <\/em><a href=\"mailto:giving@ssc.nsw.edu.au\"><em>giving@ssc.nsw.edu.au<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gifts in Wills There have been members of our community, including ex-students, past parents and current parents of Santa Sabina College, who have asked about our Orange Tree Society and the impact that membership can have on our College.
