DSC publishes third edition of Legacy Fundraising

The Directory of Social Change has published the third edition of 'Legacy Fundraising: The art of seeking bequests', edited by Sebastian Wilberforce.

The book was first published in April 1998, and is one of the DSC's best-selling fundraising titles. It offers a comprehensive guide to the strategy and techniques that fundraisers need. It includes guidance on ethical issues, the law relating to will-making, legal pitfalls and how to manage legacy income.

This new edition has been updated to include new developments such as the role of the internet in legacy fundraising, the 'Remember A Charity' campaign, and how to avoid disputes around legacies after death.

Sebastian Wilberforce has edited all three editions of 'Legacy Fundraising'. He worked as a legacy fundraiser for the Royal National Institute for the Blind in England, and then as a consultant to a range of organisations in New Zealand. He also chaired the IoF working group that wrote the first code of practice for legacy fundraising.

Legacy Fundraising costs £24.95 from the DSC.
