Legacy
Have you considered remembering
World Monuments Fund Britain in your will?
We rely on support from generous individuals to help us preserve beautiful historic structures at home and abroad for future generations. Without this support we would be less able to realise our ambition to protect historically important sites across the globe. By including World Monuments Fund Britain in your Will you can help us preserve many more wonderful buildings for years to come.
WMF Britain was founded in 1995 as a result of a major bequest from one of American’s most enlightened benefactors, Paul Mellon (1907-1999). He saw the great benefits of preserving the architectural heritage of Great Britain and the role of WMF Britain in using its skills to make it happen. Since then we have accomplished a great deal, but there is still much to do.
A gift in your Will to WMF Britain would give loved ones the pleasure of knowing that you are giving to a cause in which you believe, whilst creating a lasting memoriam which reflects your passions. It also allows you to pledge your support without experiencing any immediate financial burden.
Our legacy pledgers are very important to us and to convey our thanks we invite them to learn more about our organisation and current projects through invitations to special events and visits. On receiving a bequest appropriate acknowledgements will be made, but if you have any specific wishes we will do our utmost to honour them.
If you are considering making a bequest to World Monuments Fund Britain, our Finance Director or those in development would be pleased to discuss this with you. Please email enquiries@wmf.org.uk or call +44 (0) 20 7730 5344 to request more information.
Thank you for taking the time to consider leaving a legacy to WMF Britain.
I wrote a new will a few months ago, leaving a modest bequest to WMFB. How about doing the same? We'd be so grateful; and the money, we can assure you, would be well spent!
John Julius Norwich, Chairman Emeritus, Word Monuments Fund Britain.
