About us
Remember A Charity
Remember A Charity is a vibrant behaviour change campaign that aims to inspire the public to leave a charitable gift in their Will. Working collaboratively, the campaign’s mission is to do what no organisation can do alone, growing the legacy market and normalising charitable gifts in Wills.
Why grow legacy giving? Charitable gifts in Wills are one of the largest sources of voluntary income in the UK, raising £4.5 billion for good causes each year. As such, it’s a crucial source of income for thousands of charities, particularly in the current economic climate.
Established in 2000, Remember A Charity now represents almost 200 member charities, who work together to drive change through inspiring consumer campaigns, strategic partnerships with solicitors, Will-writers and professional advisers, and by lobbying government to enhance the wider legacy giving environment. The consortium encompasses a diverse range of charities, giving them the platform, resources and guidance to maximise their legacy fundraising. Remember A Charity works all year round to promote legacy giving, also running Remember A Charity Week each September as a central focal point for public awareness activity.
Our four key strategic pillars are:
- Inspiring the UK public to leave a charitable legacy
- Embedding legacy giving across Will-writing and estate planning
- Influencing government & decision-makers to protect and nurture the future of charitable legacies
- Equipping & enabling our members to maximise their legacy fundraising
Remember A Charity is part of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and our goals align with its strategic priority of growing charitable giving.
Chartered Institute of Fundraising (CIOF)
The Chartered Institute of Fundraising is the UK's professional membership body for fundraisers, championing excellence, providing professional development and education, and fostering connections across the sector. We've launched a new ten-year strategy to tackle critical challenges like diminishing income, increasing demand for services, and issues such as fundraiser burnout and lack of investment that are impacting charities nationwide. We believe that every fundraiser should feel valued and nurtured.
This strategy focuses on four key pillars with clear five and ten-year targets: attracting, retaining, and nurturing fundraising talent to combat the "revolving door"; reframing the narrative to change perceptions of fundraising and drive investment; driving excellent fundraising practice, setting standards, ethics and guidance to build public trust; and fostering a culture that inspires more people to give to reverse declining donor numbers. Our ultimate aim is to double our impact in a decade, ensuring a sustainable future for both fundraisers and charities.
