Hi Everyone,

I've recently joined to the British Red Cross as Legacy Marketing Manager. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent movement maintains total political and religious neutrality, but a colleague in our fundraising strategy team is currently doing a research project to find out more about fundraising and philanthropy in a religious context, including legacies. 

When she looked at the income breakdown for the CAF Top 500 Fundraising Charities, she found that none of the islamic charities listed showed income from legacies, and she asked if I had idea why. This is outside my experience, so I've suggested that she contact prominent islamic charities such as Islamic Relief, Muslim Aid and Islamic Aid.

If any of you can help with comments or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated! 

Many thanks,
Judy
