Hi Stuart and everyone. I think you were quite right.. Lets not pretend to act as legal advisers, it just puts charities in a difficult position.. and that is...
It might also be worth suggesting they contact the NHFA, a subsidiary of HSBC which provides advice on meeting care home fees, including how to hold on to your...
Dear All Can you help? We are looking for five organisations with a screening database of over 300,000 supporters to help us test a new factual database of...
Solid advice all round. From my own experience, we have to be very clear with legators that some things which appear to be "dodges" - eg making charity...
Hello, We are not seeing the same levels of legacy enquirer activity as we might expect from our activities, both in terms of warm contacts and cold prospects....
I am launching a legacy society for an 80+ year-old organisation and would like to include a small yet meaningful gift in our thank you, when people join. In...
What about a CD? David David Mitchell Territory Legacy Fundraiser Northern Territory British Red Cross 5 Marsden Park, James Nicolson Link Clifton Moor York ...
Hi Catherine Firstly don't assume that everyone will welcome a gift, I have examples of a gift being used not always being well received. If you do go ahead...
New computers don't have CD drives these days and I want something that is a permanent reminder of what is basically a non-binding pledge. Thanks for the...
I bet all these folks have a hymn book but I just realised we have a new book explaining the psalms, and that might be a beautiful thing, especially if signed...
Hi Catherine, It sounds like you’re used to what happens in the States. Here in the UK charities giving gifts is seen in a very different light and is often ...
Ah, but they have hymn book drives? :-) Seriously though, there is some wonderful church based music out there and if you got enough pledgers it wouldn't be...
Interesting idea but NO to CDs. I do believe that a gift that is meaningful and reminds people of their pledge is going to be welcome -- we are a music...
Any solution we marketeers/fundraisers think our donors would or wouldn't want will never be right for everyone. For everyone who would be offended by this...
Most sensible response yet. Since this gift will come with me or someone (truly) notable attached to it, it has the advantage of being part of a further...
IÂ think your gift should be seen in the context of the cost of your launch. Are you providing lunch, wine etc in an expensive hotel , or tea and cakes in a...
The launch is just an invitation sent in the post, so we certainly won't seem to be extravagant. I like the idea of an annual reminder in the form of a...
As you're a music publisher, is there a composer who would be willing to donate a short piece, or alternatively sign some scores? Elizabeth Elizabeth Twining ...
Elizabeth/Catherine, That sounds a great idea Elizabeth. A copy of an original score signed by the composer is highly unique, but would not be seen as costing...
Hi, Ours just pootle along really. Maybe becuase we're not a medical charity where there's a better fit with tribute funds. But I'm happy to share what we've...
Hello Everyone, Further to my previous question (and thank you for your reply which I really appreciate) the supporter in question has told me she is going to ...
Dear All Could anyone advise me on the following? A white gold diamond ring has been left to our charity and another valuation is being completed as we speak. ...
My contact who deals in shares says sell it as gold prices are good at the moment. Â However its jewellery, so its value may be determined as jewellery rather...
All of the charities where I've worked (and there have been many) have sold real estate, art, jewellery and stock immediately. Catherine 2009/11/18 Niki...
Bar the advice already provided, if its a specific piece (perhaps with history or collectable/be-spoke) then a specialist may give you abetter price. often...

Dear Stuart Many willwriters are unregulated. That is, they have no indemnity insurance, continuing professional development requirement or minimum...
