New report to highlight public attitudes to leaving charitable gifts in will
Reading time: 1 minute
An umbrella group of over 90 Irish charities is to publish polling findings on attitudes to making a will and supporting charities by including a gift.
The research will be launched on Sunday 1 September to mark the launch of My Legacy Month.
My Legacy was established in 2006 to raise awareness of legacy-giving as a sustainable, shock-proof way to support charities and benefit future society.
With over 90 Irish charity members, the group encourages legacy-giving and will-making throughout a month-long awareness campaign in September.
Niall O’Sullivan, chairperson of My Legacy, said: “It’s much-documented that, comparably, Ireland has a very low uptake in will-making which can cause unnecessary delays and stress for beneficiaries as well as issues in wider society.
“As a group that strives to grow support for charities through legacy-giving, we would like to see Government and the legal profession tackle the low level of will-making in Ireland.
“We’ve commissioned Red C to undertake polling on the barriers preventing people from making a will, and attitudes to including a gift to charity in their will.”
