Quick Summary

Legacy Funds can be set up in your lifetime or through a gift in your will. Either way they are an ideal way of creating sustainable funding for communities.

In detail

Setting up a Legacy Fund is the ideal way of making a lasting difference to your community. Starting at £25,000 it can be established with regular donations throughout your lifetime, or by a gift in your will. Your Fund is invested and the gain provides for charitable activity year on year. You can name your Fund and specify the areas you wish to give to. You can even nominate successor advisors (children or loved ones) who will continue to be involved in your Fund in the future. The Legacy Fund is an ideal way of ensuring that your original gift keeps on giving.

We say

"People think legacies are all about leaving a gift in their will, but all of our legacy fundholders have set their funds up in their lifetime. It’s a way of enjoying your philanthropy whilst you can and ensuring that it continues after you are gone."

They say

“The benefit of having an endowment is that you can spread the impact over the years, and ensure that funding will be available to support your chosen causes over time. It means you can provide consistency in your giving. Our Fund enables us to feel that we can make an impact, and thanks to the Community Foundation's on-the-ground local connections, we can help to make a difference.”
