In this joint report from Remember A Charity, Legacy Foresight,the Institute of Legacy Management, and Smee & Ford we explore the role of legacies during the pandemic and how we can, going forward ensure our charities are more resilient at coping with change out-with our control. While many fundraising channels and activities ceased, gifts in Wills – the largest source of voluntary income – sustained vital charitable services across the UK. This report presents insights from interviews with leading legacy experts and shares key findings from a survey of over 120 charity representatives.
This is a unique opportunity not
only to normalise legacy giving, but
to provide a more resilient financial
core and to ensure UK charities can
continue to provide critical services
for future generations.
