Leave a legacy
Support us in your Will
Leaving something of value behind is important for all of us. It shows our contribution to the world has meant something and is a great way to ensure your hard work continues to have an impact. By making a gift in your Will to the Film and TV Charity, you’re ensuring that support for individuals and community groups working in film, TV and cinema continues well into the future.
Benefits of leaving a legacy
In the UK, any legacy you make to the Film and TV Charity is free from inheritance tax, since we’re a registered charity (charity number 1099660). This can also benefit your estate since any charitable donation could reduce the tax liabilities of your personal beneficiaries because charitable legacies will be deducted from your estate before any tax is calculated.
Another benefit of including a charity is that you can maintain a relationship with the charity during your lifetime with the knowledge that, after you have provided for your loved ones, your generosity will have a great impact on the charity’s work and its beneficiaries.
