The Directory of Social Change has published the third edition of ‘Legacy Fundraising:
The art of seeking bequests’, edited by Sebastian Wilberforce.

The book was [first published in April 1998](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/legacy-fundraising-new-book-caf),
and is one of the DSC’s best-selling fundraising titles. It offers a comprehensive
guide to the strategy and techniques that fundraisers need. It includes guidance
on ethical issues, the law relating to will-making, legal pitfalls and how to manage
legacy income.

This new edition has been updated to include new developments such as the role of
the internet in legacy fundraising, the ‘Remember A Charity’ campaign, and how to
avoid disputes around legacies after death.

Sebastian Wilberforce has edited all three editions of ‘Legacy Fundraising’. He 
worked as a legacy fundraiser for the Royal National Institute for the Blind in 
England, and then as a consultant to a range of organisations in New Zealand. He
also chaired the IoF working group that wrote the first code of practice for legacy
fundraising.
