We are Legacy Futures
Legacy Futures is a leading legacy giving consultancy, helping over 200 charities worldwide to harness the transformative power of legacy giving, through gifts in Wills and In-Memory giving.
Legacy giving is the future
We believe that legacy giving is the future, where every legacy donor joins a conversation between generations, connecting their past with our future. And we’re living through the biggest generational transfer of wealth in human history, with gifts in Wills and in-memory giving now raising over £5 billion a year and set to double in real terms by 2050.
Our purpose is to help charities grow through legacy giving, at every step of the legacy journey, through the insight and analysis of Legacy Foresight, the strategic consultancy of Legacy Voice, and the expert administration of Legacy Link.
Legacy giving means the world to us.
That’s why we do everything legacy.
What is legacy giving?
Legacy giving is most often used when talking about the precious gifts left to charities in Wills.
We see legacy giving as being more than this. Legacy giving is about motivation. It is the motivation to have a life live on through causes loved, to help shape the future, whether through gifts made in a Will or gifts made In Memory of a loved one.
Gifts in Wills create a legacy for the person themselves. Gifts In Memory create a legacy for a loved one. Together they give purpose and meaning to millions of people worldwide.
