There is no expectation about the size of your gift. A small percentage of an estate can make a meaningful difference while still ensuring that those closest to you remain your priority.
Your gift could help Food for the Brain:
Your support is a gift of knowledge, prevention and possibility to the generations that follow.
Leaving a gift to Food for the Brain is straightforward. If you are making or updating your Will, we recommend speaking to a solicitor or qualified Will-writing professional to make sure that your wishes are recorded correctly. You will need the following information:
There are several ways you can choose to remember Food for the Brain.
Known as a residuary gift, this is a percentage or share of what remains after your loved ones have been provided for and other costs and gifts have been paid.
Because it is a percentage rather than a fixed amount, it can be a particularly flexible way to give.
Known as a pecuniary gift, you can choose to leave a particular amount of money to Food for the Brain.
You can also leave a particular asset or item as part of your Will.
You do not necessarily need to make an entirely new Will to include a charitable gift. Speak to your solicitor or Will-writing professional about the most appropriate way to update your existing Will.
Gifts left to UK charities are generally exempt from Inheritance Tax and are deducted from the value of an estate before Inheritance Tax is calculated.
In some circumstances, leaving 10% or more of the relevant net value of an estate to charity can reduce the rate of Inheritance Tax applying to the taxable part of the estate.
Tax and inheritance arrangements depend on individual circumstances, so we recommend taking professional legal or financial advice.
A gift in your Will is entirely personal, and there is absolutely no obligation to tell us that you have included Food for the Brain. However, if you would like to let us know, we would love the opportunity to thank you and keep you closer to the work that your future gift could make possible. Telling us about your intentions is not binding and you can change your mind at any time.
Together, we can leave future generations more than memories. We can leave them the knowledge to help protect their own.
