The Port Adelaide Football Club has a formal Bequests Program, to enable passionate supporters to leave money to the club in their Will.
The club has also has a Bequest Society (the ‘Port Adelaide Forever Bequest Society’) to enable those who tell the club they will be leaving a bequest to meet at regular luncheons and special events put on by the club.
The Port Adelaide Forever Bequest Society was launched at a lunch at The Port Club on Wednesday 14 April 2010.
The Bequest Society enables the club to publically acknowledge and celebrate the support of those who intend to leave a bequest and to thank them during their lifetime.
Those who wish to leave a gift privately are also able to do so.
The Bequest Program and Bequest Society are managed by Maria Gelasakis. Maria can be contacted at the club on (08) 8447 9907 or by email.
Bequests received by the club will be invested into a future endowment fund, with the profits earned from the fund to be invested in capital equipment to help the development of future players. The proceeds will also help fund the club’s highly respected community programs that bring healthy lifestyle messages to thousands of South Australian children. The club will not use proceeds from bequests to fund normal operations or player salaries and payments.
The future fund itself will not be drawn on, but will remain in perpetuity, returning income to the club on an annual basis. This way, the bequest legacy remains an everlasting one.
