Legacy gifts

By leaving a gift in your will to The Atlas Foundation you will be helping thousands of children throughout the world improve their lives through the power of rugby.

A Front Row's view on leaving a legacy

Its a no brainer

Why so?

In the UK the Government offers inheritance tax relief for people who donate 10% or more of their estate to charity. So without major impact on your kids (but reducing what they have to pay to the government) you can make an important contribution to Atlas, or other charities of your choice. 

We are not experts here at Atlas, so here is an FT article, click on the logo.

Legacies in your lifetime

What is nice, is to know you if you've left something to Atlas in your will. That way we can get to know you and share some of the Atlas joy with you while you're still here.
