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.

Richmond Heavies Foundation Fund

The Richmond Heavies is the veteran’s side of Richmond Rugby Club in West London, one of the oldest clubs in the world and presently playing in the RFU Championship as the sole amateur club. Several recent unexpected bereavements of players have led to the creation of a charitable foundation to help protect senior and junior players at the club, as well as being able to help those immediately impacted, by a serious illness or bereavement.

The Ian Williams Foundation Fund Appeal

Weʼre raising £25,000 to contribute to causes close to Ian Michael Williams' heart, keeping his legacy alive and continuing his impact on the world.
The difference we make

From Argentina to Zimbabwe children from the poorest shanty towns and slums are given food, education and training, alongside the joy of playing rugby. Through this the kids we work with are learning and growing. They learn more, they stay away from drugs and crime, they become young leaders. In time they find jobs and become fine adults giving back to the next generation of children.
