I think World Vision had a good case study (rather than statistical evidence) if that's helpful? Regards Annette Annette Humphrey Partnerships Manager Tearfund...
Has anyone got evidence or even experience that offering their supporters / members a means of choosing how or where their legacy's spent has increased legacy...

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...
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...
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. ...
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 ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
What about a CD? David David Mitchell Territory Legacy Fundraiser Northern Territory British Red Cross 5 Marsden Park, James Nicolson Link Clifton Moor York ...
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...
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....
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...
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...
