Let Your Belief in The Future of The Children of Ireland Live On

A legacy gift to the Irish Youth Foundation is a powerful way to ensure your values live on, investing in the future of the children of Ireland and supporting young people for generations to come.

By including the Irish Youth Foundation in your will, you can help us continue our mission to break the cycle of disadvantage and provide young people with the opportunities they deserve. Legacy giving is not just a financial decision; it’s a deeply personal act of kindness that reflects your belief in a brighter future.

Why Legacy Giving Matters

Legacy gifts are more than donations; they are lasting commitments to the future of Ireland’s young people. By including the Irish Youth Foundation in your will, you are helping to build a more equitable and hopeful society for generations to come.

These gifts allow us to plan with confidence, invest in long-term programmes, and respond swiftly to emerging needs in communities across Ireland. Whether it’s a modest sum or a percentage of your estate, your legacy will help us fund vital initiatives that have the power to transform lives.

Legacy giving ensures that your values live on. It’s a way to make a meaningful difference beyond your lifetime, supporting children and young people who face barriers to reaching their full potential. Your generosity will help us create safe spaces, provide mentorship, and open doors to opportunities that might otherwise remain closed.

Every legacy gift, no matter the size, contributes to a brighter future. It is a powerful act of hope and a testament to your belief in the potential of Ireland’s youth.

Tax Benefits of Leaving a Legacy Gift

Leaving a gift to a registered charity like the Irish Youth Foundation can offer significant tax advantages for your estate. Under Irish law:

  • Charitable gifts are exempt from inheritance tax, meaning your donation will go entirely to the cause you care about.
  • If you leave 10% or more of your estate to charity, your estate may qualify for a reduced inheritance tax rate of 36% instead of 40%.
We recommend speaking with a solicitor or financial advisor to understand how legacy giving can benefit your estate and loved ones
