 1. Legacies is just another way of giving
 2. It will build your organisation’s resilience

In [Are you ready for legacy giving?](http://prospectingforgold.co.uk/news-hub/are-you-ready-for-legacy-giving/)
on their site they point out that “it is estimated that in the next decade the number
of charitable bequests will rise by 23% with legacy income set to double in real
terms by 2050” according to [Legacy Foresight](https://www.legacyforesight.co.uk/)
in 2020.
