What exactly does “The Big Society” mean?
Perhaps the Government gave us part of the answer when it took steps to encourage “legacy giving”.
The Government wants to create a new norm in the UK.
It wants us all to leave 10 per cent in our Wills to charity.
And here’s how it’s encouraging us.
Leave 10 per cent or more of your estate to charity and the Government will take 10 per cent off the individual’s inheritance tax rate.
If we all signed up to the cause, this would benefit charities to the figure of £300m per annum.
Making the legacy ‘ask’ is a sensitive but vital area of fundraising. Cause can advise on your legacy strategy and implementation.
