For decades, JOY has been honoured to serve as the voice of Australia’s LGBTQIA+ community. Together, we’ve faced challenges, celebrated victories, and built a more inclusive world. None of this would have been possible without your support—thank you.
To ensure JOY continues to thrive and amplify our community’s stories for generations to come, we invite you to consider leaving a gift to JOY in your Will. Your bequest, no matter the size, will help us remain Out, Loud, and Proud—supporting vital programs, training, and community initiatives.
Ways to Leave a Gift
Specific Bequest – You can leave a specific sum of money, property, shares, or insurance to JOY Melbourne Inc. If you choose to leave property, please provide a clear description to ensure it is easily identified.
Residual Bequest – After providing for your loved ones, you may choose to leave all or a portion of the remainder (the “residue”) of your estate to JOY. This option allows you to support both your family and the causes you care about.
Percentage Bequest – You may wish to leave a fixed percentage of your estate to JOY. This ensures your gift remains proportional, regardless of changes in your estate’s value over time.
How Your Bequest Makes a Difference
Your generosity will help JOY:
- Develop and deliver diverse on-air programs
- Expand youth training and mentorship initiatives
- Support community organisations through free announcements
- Champion LGBTQIA+ voices and stories
