Legacy Fundraising Consultancy

  • This year, around £3.4 billion will be left by donors in their wills to UK charitable causes rising to £5 billion by 2030.
  • Average legacies to charity are typically £5,000 for cash sums and £50,000 for shares of estates.
  • With an ROI of up to 50:1, legacy fundraising is probably the most cost effective way to raise money
  • Legacies are usually left as general funds, so they can help cover your core costs.
