BEQUEST
A Visionary Gift
As a non-profit organisation, The John Fawcett Foundation (JFF) relies on the generosity of its supporters to conduct its humanitarian work. More people than ever before support their favourite non-profit organisations in their will. You can support The John Fawcett Foundation in this way by becoming one of our JFF Visionaries.
This is a powerful and long-lasting way to make a difference and show your support. And it’s one that has no impact on your lifestyle today.
When you make a bequest to The John Fawcett Foundation you will help us to build our Core Fund, unless you request otherwise. The Core Fund supports our programming which is the basis of everything we do. JFF’s basic tenet is to assist those who are unable to seek specialist medical attention for themselves or their family members because they live in poverty, and our focus project is Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention. A gift to our Core Fund, as well as helping us restore sight to the blind, will help to bring them out of poverty by enabling them to return to work and contribute to their family livelihood and community.
Every gift we receive, regardless of size, makes a difference. Thank you for considering including The John Fawcett Foundation in your future planning.
When making or amending your will, it is important to discuss your intentions with your financial advisor, your solicitor and your family and friends.
We consider it a great privilege to be recognised through a bequest. We encourage you to let us know if you are considering supporting The John Fawcett Foundation in this way, so that we can discuss how your gift might be used to maximum benefit, and to thank you for your generosity and vision.
When you notify us of your bequest you will be invited to become a JFF Visionary and receive regular communication about our achievements and future plans.

WATER FROM THE MOON
A biography of John Fawcett by Scott Bevan
John Fawcett’s story is of the triumph of determination in the face of impossible odds. As the Javanese say, like getting water from the moon. Near-death experiences are the catalyst to re-examine and revitalize a life, but rarely are the results of such an experience so spectacular as in the case of John Fawcett.
Successful ceramist, art school head and family man, he lived life at a frenetic pace until treatment for chronic back pain took him to the brink of death. He lost his wife, his career, his health and his vision for the future. Rebuilding his life took him to another country, a new family and a new vocation – bringing sight to the cataract blind of Bali.
