Leave a legacy to reflect your support & love of music

Few people today will be familiar with the name Dorothy Francis Craig, yet this little known New Zealander played an important role in the establishment of the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation. At the time that the Foundation was being established a bequest of £20,000 was received from the executors of her estate – Dorothy had been a great fan of Dame Kiri. So Dorothy provided the Foundation’s first bequest and what better way is there to reflect your love of music.

Leaving a bequest is a simple procedure that allows you to include the Foundation as a beneficiary of your will. Bequests are usually directed to the Foundation for use at the trustee’s discretion but they can also be directed towards a specific purpose such as a music scholarship for a talented singer, musician or conductor identified by the trustees as meeting all the required criteria.

If you’d like to discuss this matter further or would like sample language for your lawyer please contact the Foundation office.

Sponsors & Service Providers

The Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation has been fortunate to be able to attract a small group of commercial organisations who have enthusiastically lent their corporate name and contributed significant funds as well as resources and services to ensure the long term achievement of the Foundation’s aims.
