Legacy Giving

“I hope my legacy will help make Calderdale a better place for future generations”.

If that strikes a chord with you, the Community Foundation for Calderdale can help. As an accredited charitable foundation working at the heart of your local community for nearly 30 years, we offer two main services:

• we channel funds to local frontline charities meeting important community needs, using our in-depth community knowledge, connections, and know-how
• we provide a professional service to individual/family and corporate donors (and their professional advisors), connecting them with local causes they care about and helping them to make a difference in their local community.

Once they have made provision for family and loved ones, many of our supporters generously include a gift for us in their Will, sometimes alongside a living gift. Such gifts are essential fuel for our beneficial work in the community, now and in future. They really make a difference.

A gift along the above lines:

• can support causes you are most interested in or concerned about, or else we can allocate it to the most pressing current needs (using our in-depth community knowledge and connections), depending on your preference
• can be small or large, as a percentage of your Estate or a fixed sum gift, and tax-efficient (gifts to us will either be taken off the value of your Estate before Inheritance Tax is calculated or else reduce your Inheritance Tax rate if more than 10% of your Estate is left to charity)
