Major Gifts

Major gifts play a significant role in helping Out Doors achieve outcomes that are in line with our Strategic Plan and enable us to plan long-term program initiatives.

Personalise your investment by directing your gift towards a specific campaign or activity that is close to your heart. To help you decide where your support is best placed, we can provide you with a short, detailed proposal including an overview of current programs and associated costs. Within an agreed time frame, you will receive evidence that your funded activity has taken place, along with a summary of its impact on program outcomes and a final report. We encourage you to talk to us about how you would like to be kept up-to-date on your chosen campaign.

Bequests

By leaving a legacy in your Will to Out Doors through a bequest, you make a powerful commitment that will change the future, for the better, for generations to come.
