For Charities – New Zealand

For New Zealand members

Our annual member surveys reveal year-on-year increases in membership value, and we have record numbers of IAC organisational members. We are keen for as many NZ organisations as possible to become part of the Include a Charity community and benefit from what we offer.

Joining Include a Charity is a great way to engage and grow your Gifts in Wills program.

All the benefits listed below are available to New Zealand members.

Our Training Days, IAC Conference and IAC Week content and activities deliver new thinking, knowledge-sharing and growth opportunities for all bequest programs – and building community and capacity for IAC members is also at the heart of our mission.

We offer a range of resources, including educational webinars and training days, to provide guidance on developing your Gifts in Wills program. Plus one-to-one coaching.

Each year is packed with useful and groundbreaking events. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

We also have the Include a Charity Week coming up. Include a Charity Week is from September 1-8 this year and we have a stellar line up of events and publicity. See the Roadshow program here Home. New Zealand members can join the online call this year, but in future years we would love to add an NZ Roadshow Day). We have also worked hard to bring our members a comprehensive and varied folder of Include a Charity Week assets for social media, web output and any eDMs and DMs to your databases.

Below is the FIA discount rate (column 1) and the IAC discount rate (column 2). As we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each year on the social change PR, media, and digital campaign, our fees are slightly higher than FIA.
