Legacy giving represents one of the greatest opportunities to build long-term, sustainable income for Ireland’s nonprofit sector. Yet many organisations continue to face familiar challenges: securing internal investment, building confidence in legacy fundraising, understanding what success looks like and knowing where to begin.

The Legacy Exchange brings together fundraising leaders, charity CEOs, trustees and sector experts for a practical morning of insight, evidence and discussion.

Drawing on lessons from the UK’s more established legacy market, alongside growing experience in Ireland, the event will explore the strategies, partnerships and investment decisions that can help charities develop successful and sustainable legacy programmes.

Delegates will hear from legal, fundraising and legacy specialists, take part in expert-led discussions and learn directly from charities already developing their legacy fundraising approaches.

What to expect

The morning will include:

• A keynote address from Mason Hayes & Curran
• An expert session from Free Wills Network exploring how charities can grow legacy income
• An interactive legacy myth-busting session led by Ask Direct
• A practitioner panel featuring representatives from ActionAid Ireland, Trócaire and St. Vincent's Healthcare Foundation
• Opportunities to ask questions, exchange ideas and connect with fellow charity leaders

Across the morning, speakers will examine the evidence behind common assumptions about legacy giving, consider how to build a compelling internal business case for investment and share practical lessons on developing a sustainable pipeline for future income.

Who should attend?

The Legacy Exchange is designed for:

• Directors and Heads of Fundraising
• Charity CEOs and senior leaders
• Trustees and board members
• Fundraisers responsible for legacy, individual giving or long-term income development

Whether your organisation is beginning to explore legacy fundraising or looking to strengthen an existing programme, you will leave with practical ideas, greater confidence and a clearer understanding of how to unlock the long-term potential of legacy giving.
