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.

Now Sonny Bill and Charlie want to turn those 15 minutes into a legacy that will, by using the wonderful game of rugby, save lives and lift the poorest children around the world out of poverty.
Team Talk - Kenya

In rural Kenya there is little gender parity in primary education and many fewer girls access secondary education. In 2011 many girls in this region were leaving primary school early to be married or after becoming pregnant. Team Talk takes a fresh approach by using TAG rugby alongside classroom sessions to address gender equality in rural Kenyan schools.

First 50 and 15 at 15,000 Feet

My Dad and I wanted to do something daring and big in memory of Anita, Alex and Annabel. I know my friend Alex would think that jumping out of an airplane over Australia was just the kind of crazy thing my Dad and I would do. This is in honor of him. My Dad was 50 this year and I was 15, so we are closing 2019 on a high, literally at 15000feet above ground. Please sponsor us and raise as much money as we can for the AN*** memorial fund.

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. 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 £50,000 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.
