Gary Fail, Retired Solicitor
When I was a practising solicitor, I prepared wills for clients and advised them regarding gifts. Many wealthy and not so wealthy residents of the Ashburton area who had benefited from living and working locally wished to give or leave money to local charitable causes. Uncertain that gifts or bequests to national charities would particularly benefit the Ashburton District, they found Advance Ashburton Community Foundation a perfect alternative. Others found the prospect of setting up their own permanent charitable trust a rather daunting prospect, and the solution again was provided by Advance Ashburton. Using Advance Ashburton as a locally focused trustee, donors could establish their own personal funds (named if they wish) for the particular local purposes they wished to benefit. This was, and still is, a wonderful local facility: I see its role growing exponentially in the future. |
