The receipt of a legacy gift is the final step on a long journey. Perhaps a lifetime in fact. But do we know enough about how to create long-lasting relationships with our supporters that can move them from consideration to commitment and ultimately result in a legacy gift to our charity? One of the biggest areas of opportunity is to move people from interest into action. Just 5% of people who say they are considering a legacy gift go on to give. If we can create tailored supporter journeys to encourage just a small number of these to convert into legacy donors, it could raise billions more for good causes. Join us for a brand new Legacy Futures masterclass this September, where we will explore what research can tell us about designing effective legacy donor journeys and how to put them into practise. We’ll explore the journeys for those who express an interest in legacy, and for those who have pledged their support, as well as considering the practical steps to designing an ideal donor journey.
