A gift in your Will allows you to make a long-term difference:

• Support a charitable cause - that's trusted, relied upon and rooted in the community
• Leave your mark on London - where you lived, worked and put down roots
• Be more tax efficient with your estate - helping your family and loved ones too

How to give your gift

Once you’ve taken care of your loved ones, anything you decide to leave us will still make a substantial difference; even just 1% of your estate can contribute to shaping a better future for those we support.

Let your solicitor the amount you wish to leave as your legacy and whether it will be a pecuniary legacy (a fixed cash amount) or a residuary legacy (a share or percentage of your estate). Your solicitor will ensure the legal correctness of your Will and that your wishes are respected.

Share the following details with your solicitor:

• The London Community Foundation
• Registered address: Canopi, 82 Tanner Street, London, SE1 3GN
• Registered charity number: 1091263

Choose how you will make a difference

Giving to The London Community Foundation allows you to decide how your gift will be used to make the most difference to London's disadvantaged communities:

• You can choose a specific organisation or cause to support that matters most to you
• You can decide to support The London Community Foundation as a charity, helping us to continue to fund hundreds of local, community organisations every year
• Depending on the size of your legacy, you can even set up an endowment with us, allowing your legacy to continue to give to London's community organisations for years to come

We welcome families contributing to how your legacy is managed, helping them play a part in how your gift makes a difference to people most in need.
