Dear All Have any of you got sponsors for your Tribute Funds. Eg. Sponsoring of the info packs and any flyers? Niki Niki Glenning In Memoriam & Legacy Officer ...
Hi! I'm new to all of this, can I just turn up for one of these meetings? I am in Manchester that day and should be able to come, but I may be a little late. ...
Hi Niki, I personally have not sought overt sponsorship when producing our latest Tribute Fund materials. However working with local suppliers I was able to...

Hi Niki, This event was arranged to raise income for one of our Bluebell Tribute Funds. This particular fund is somewhat different to most Tribute Funds in...
Hi everyone Just wondering if anyone has any advice on an issue that's come up here at WWF. We are hoping to start running legacy events for our donors, to...
You could try asking Sally Jones, Legacy Manager the Royal Academy, as I have just been invited to one of their legacy events, so they might know something...

I can see no problem with the Gift Aid benefit rules providing an donation is entirely voluntary, and the individual donors don't get any special personal...
Sarah, Please clarify. How/where does GA fit in with legacy events? Are you saying people pay to go to these events, or do they go and then make a donation? ...
Hi - thanks for replies so far and apologies for not being clear enough in my initial post. Basically the stumbling block that I have encountered is that there...
Sarah, I think you’ve got it all cock-eyed! The HMRC ruling is about benefits to donors, like giving them gifts or free entrance to social or entertainment...
Graham Thank you for your response. I fully agree with you that I don't want to stifle my legacy events, hence my question to the group about whether anyone...
Are they necessarily donors? Some might not be on your database. Also, if seeing the nature reserve is part of the educational activity about why leaving a...
Personally speaking the idea of attending a pre death party could be seen as a threat rather than a benefit! I think HMRC are really out of order. I doubt this...
Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some general feedback on any effects that the recession appears to be having on people's willingness to leave a gift to...
Hi Judy - this is not hard evidence but donors I am meeting currently in focus groups, especially the less well off older female donors, are considering it the...
Many thanks to everyone who has responded, on and off this thread. The issue seems to be successfully resolved through the general consensus found here, and by...
Interesting article about legacies in the Observer yesterday http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/feb/22/charities-legacies No doubt Richard Radclife will make...
Yes - would be interesting to hear S&F thoughts on this - although I suspect there is little they can say. In many cases the Will will provide for a...
1. I know we have received a few legacies via CAF in this way, and several supporters who have told us they are leaving a legacy through CAF, but apart from...
Hi all, 1. I haven't dealt with CAF in this context, but generally find them to be over-priced and very unhelpful, so am planning to end our involvement with...
It is quite tricky but we have had two nice discretionaries this year and will continue. However, we do narrow down our choice once we get the Smee & Ford and...

I agree with Lynne - discretion (sic) is required. We discard about 70% of notifications and apply to those that are a close fit to the cause, have no 'to...
Hi there, I hope you are all well. Diabetes UK are currently launching what we're calling our "Pioneers' Ledger" which is a leather bound book in which we are...
Dear All We are looking at having a Will Week in September. Do any of you have any experience of running one? Did you pay the solicitors? Any pointers would be...
Hi Apologies if this has been discussed before. 'Will' and 'Wills' is often capitalised, but some of my colleagues have been questioning this. Can anyone...
