Plan a Legacy
Your legacy can shape the future of Hospice care
Gift planning is a wonderful way to make a lasting legacy, today and after death. You can partner with our team at Sunshine Coast Hospice to explore your philanthropic dreams, transform end-of-life care and help hundreds of families on the Sunshine Coast.
At the same time, you can work with a professional financial advisor for guidance on your financial portfolio. Advisors who focus on estate planning will provide you with the right tools and information for tax-savings, and connect you with specialists like tax planners and lawyers for unbiased advice.
We would be happy to work with you, your family and your financial advisor in confidence to achieve your philanthropic wishes.
