In this episode we will be exploring the topic of innovation in legacy fundraising. So keep listening to hear our guest’s views on what problems might need solving in the sector as well what they think the biggest areas of opportunity are for gifts in Wills – and how to apply that in your own charity.

The questions we explored were:

1. What does the word ‘innovation’ mean to you? 

2. Which areas of legacy fundraising do you think need innovation the most?

3. As a larger charity, or one who invests a lot in legacy fundraising do you have examples of how you have been innovative in the past? Or future plans?

4. Vice versa, what does innovation in legacy fundraising look like for a smaller charity?

5. What do you think the future of legacy fundraising holds?
