Several well-established institutions overseas provide models for what is possible in Australia. Potentially they could serve as links and partners for a tertiary institution in this country based on the educational and social principles developed by Rudolf Steiner. These are Alanus University for the Arts and Social Sciences in Germany and Heliopolis University in Egypt.

Making a Bequest
A bequest is a gift and can be either named or anonymous. It is contained within a will and specifically reserves part of an estate for a particular beneficiary. Bequests can be made in a variety of ways to reflect a donor’s wishes. They can be defined personal assets such as bonds, property, fixed sums, the whole or a percentage of an estate. They can be a residual bequest meaning the part left of your estate after you have provided for family or friends. If you wish to make a bequest to the Education for Social Renewal Foundation you should obtain legal advice as to the different ways this gift can be made.
Bequests directed to the Education for Social Renewal Foundation can be general or specific. If your bequest is general it will be distributed by the trustee to Rudolf Steiner educational initiatives or individual students that have particular needs in relation to land acquisition/buildings or scholarships.
If your bequest is specific you need to inform us of the institution and its requirements (Building/Land Fund) or the student or students you wish to support (Scholarship Fund). Please note that the institution in either case needs to have a connection to the aims of this Foundation; click here to see the requirements.
