Gift in your Will

Leaving a gift in your Will is your opportunity to make a profound impact. By supporting QBI researchers, you help push the boundaries of brain science and empower our scientists to tackle some of the most pressing health challenges of our time.

The gift in your Will is a unique way to be remembered or to honour a loved one through brain research. Gifts of all sizes contribute to our understanding of the inner workings of the brain and enable us to take the next steps towards developing treatments and ultimately finding cures for brain diseases.

After providing for your loved ones, leaving a small percentage of your estate to advance brain research could be life-saving and life-changing for future generations.
