**Charitable giving campaign Legacy10 is inviting entries to its annual Award for
Excellence. **

This aims to recognise those who have contributed to legacy giving in the UK through
innovation and service. The winner of the award will receive £5,000 for themselves
and £5,000 for the charity which they represent.

The [Legacy10](http://www.legacy10.com) Award for Excellence was first awarded last
year. This year’s entries close at **5pm on 17 October 2014**.

The award is open to all legacy fundraisers working for a registered UK charity.
It will be awarded not simply for raising the most money from legacies but to the
individual who has been most innovative in their approach, establishing new or long
term sources of legacy giving. The judges will also be looking for applicants who
have had a positive impact on the legacy giving agenda outside their own charity.

## About Legacy10

[Legacy10 was established](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/2011/11/02/legacy10-campaign-urges-public-donate-10-charity-their-will/)
in November 2011, with a call to the British public to leave 10% of the value of
their estate in their will to charity or charities.
