The Irish have always been a generous and caring people and this spirit is now reflected in the growing number of people who want to leave a gift to a good cause in their will.

MyLegacy.ie comes out of a partnership between Ireland's leading charities. Good causes that have come together to help kind and thoughtful people to make their mark on the world by leaving a legacy to their favourite charity

Leaving a legacy is something that everyone can do regardless of their income. MyLegacy.ie is here to help people from all walks of life to go on making a real difference to the causes they care about after they've gone.

History

My Legacy was established in 2003 by a small group of Irish charities who wished to spread the word about charitable bequests. Since then we've grown and now represent over 60 leading Irish charities and not-for-profit organisations.

What we do

MyLegacy.ie provides unbiased, useful information to individuals, charities and solicitors about leaving legacies to charities. We work to promote legacy giving and give donors, solicitors and charities the information they need to make it happen.

How we work

MyLegacy.ie is democratically run by all participating charities and governed by a Steering Committee made up of fundraising professionals from the member organisations.

We provide open, honest, unbiased advice and information and do not solicit specific gifts or legacies for individual organisations.
