Fundraising Masterclass (Legacies)

Legacies offered an opportunity for supporters of the Scotland Malawi relationship and the specific interventions of SMP members and their partners to contribute to this important work in their wills. Why Legacies?

• 42% of charity members in Scotland say they’d consider a gift in memorial.
• The Scottish charity market for legacies is over £130m per annum (2020-21).
• 60+ % of Scots do not have a will.

Experienced fundraiser, Steve Sloan shared about the potential for Scotland-Malawi links to take advantage of this opportunity and encouraged attendees to share it with any of their supporters who might be interested in creating an enduring legacy.

Steve spoke in the session at the SMP’s 2024 Annual Gathering and his presentation can be viewed here: Fundraising Fundamentals.

Steve has experience of fund-raising at every level, including CEO of a Fund-raising and Marketing Consultancy company serving the needs of over 200 clients from the tiny to International NGOs in the UK, Europe and the USA. His personal targets achieved range from £150 to $42million and everything in-between.

Resources have been shared with those who attended the event.
