For most people, writing their will offers the greatest opportunity to make a really substantial gift to charity.

• At present almost 7 out of 10 people in the UK population support charities, but fewer than 1 in 20 remember a charity in their will. *Yet it's a very easy way to give and show commitment to a cause.

• Leaving money in a will offers you an opportunity to put something back into the community and by selecting the Birmingham Foundation’s endowment for all or part of your gift, the interest/dividend can go on making a difference, year after year. You might also like to consider your legacy becoming a "Named Fund" within the Foundation.

• For more information please email us at team@bhamfoundation.co.uk
