Gifts in Wills provide around £1.9bn to charities annually. The legacy market is experiencing continued strong growth in particular with smaller and regional charities as supporters get choosier as to which charities they want to leave their final gift to.
Gifts in Wills are often based on long-standing relationships which any charity can influence to their audiences. Join this Seminar to find out why legacy fundraising is suitable for your organisation and how you can get started by identifying who is likely to leave you legacies.
What will be covered in the seminar?
- Who is likely to leave your charity legacies and why
- Does your charity receive legacies? If not, we explore why that is.
- Benefits to legacies - to your charity and donor
- Barriers/challenges to promoting legacies - how to overcome them
- How to identify your legacy prospects
- Why you need a legacy case for support and how to develop it
- What do legacy prospects want?
