Radio legacy campaign launched in Ireland
Howard Lake | 22 September 2010 | News
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.
