Legacy Promotion Ireland is launching a radio advertising campaign to encourage 
more people to consider leaving a charity donation in their will to support a cause
they care about and have a positive impact on the lives of future generations.

The radio campaign will run on RTE1, Lyric and Newstalk in October and November.

My Legacy was established in 2003 by a small group of Irish charities who wished
to spread the word about charitable bequests. Since then LPI has grown and now represents
nearly 40 leading Irish charities and not-for-profit organisations.

MyLegacy.ie provides information to individuals, charities and solicitors about 
leaving legacies to charities.

According to recent research carried out by The Community Foundation for Ireland,
a member of LPI, 62% of Irish people consider leaving a charitable bequest in their
will, but in 2008 only 42.5% of people who passed away had made a will and just 
12.2% of those left money in their will to a charity.
