Leaving a legacy

Your legacy. Their future.

Have you ever thought about the difference you could make beyond your lifetime?

Leaving a gift in your will is a simple but powerful way to support the causes you care about, helping communities across South Yorkshire thrive for years to come.

SYCF invests legacy gifts to provide long-term funding for local groups tackling the issues that matter most. It’s not about the size of the gift but the lasting impact it creates.

 

In expert hands

Over 40 years, we have supported thousands of voluntary and community groups across South Yorkshire, making SYCF best placed to ensure your gift helps those who need it most.

We will work with you and your solicitor or professional advisor to support you while you make a choice that fits your giving wishes.

Your generosity, combined with the experience and knowledge of South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation, will ensure your impact goes even further.

I wanted to make a charitable contribution to the region, and South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation enabled me to do just that. I can support local charities that meet my interests, such as helping young people into work and education, or projects that reduce social isolation for older people.
