Have you considered including a gift to your community in your Will?
September is Wills Month, so we recommend having a read of the Will Information Pack from Community Foundations of New Zealand - see cdn.blutui.com....
A gift in your Will - a 'Bequest' - to Momentum Waikato is the most effective way you can help 'Create a better Waikato for everyone forever'.
We know the content of a Will is a very personal thing and that your first priority is always to provide for the people you care about. Our offer is something to consider once you're satisfied you've sorted out everything else.
By notifying us of your intent, we can express our gratitude and discuss appropriate recognition.
Bequests to Momentum can be tagged so its resulting and ongoing investment income can go to a specific purpose or charity of your choice, or untagged so we can use it to invest in our transformational projects.
The more we know about your wishes, the better we are able to honour your intentions in full.
Making a bequest is straightforward. If you are interested in having a confidential, obligation-free conversation please contact Janice Lapwood on 022 151 2854 or janice@momentumwaikato.nz.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
