LEGACY DONATIONs
What is a legacy donation?
Legacy giving is the act of including a gift to charity in a Will. It’s a way to make a lasting impact about causes you care about, and is incentivised in the UK tax system by offering a 4% reduction in Inheritance Tax if at least 10% of your estate is donated to charity.
How do I leave a legacy in my will?
The Ivors Academy Trust will not draft, or be directly involved in drafting, wills in our favour.
However, if you wish to leave a legacy in your will, you are welcome to get in contact with us to discuss considerations, the correct wording, what we can and cannot support as a charity, and what you would like the funding to be used for.
If you have any questions about leaving a gift in your will, please reach out to us at info@ivorsacademytrust.org.
What are some examples of legacy gifts?
A recent example of how a legacy donation was put into practice is through Peter Sinfield’s legacy donation to The Ivors Academy Trust to provide bursaries for young musicians. You can see how we brought this legacy to life via the Peter Sinfield Bursary Fund.
