Leave a Legacy to Masicorp
Leave a Legacy
At Masicorp, we believe in an end to poverty through education.
With your help, we have been transforming the lives of families in Masiphumelele for over 25 years. We have already achieved so much – creating a crèche and a day centre, libraries, training centres and sports facilities which educate, train and inspire change for over 4000 individuals each year.
A simple way you can continue to support our future work is through a gift in your will (also known as a bequest, a legacy or a planned gift).
As Masicorp is a registered charity in the UK, a tax-exempt public charity in the USA and a registered NGO in South Africa, your gift may reduce the tax burden on your estate.
Regardless of size, each and every gift is an investment in the future of the Masiphumelele.
If you are considering a charitable gift in your will, and after you remember your loved ones, please consider supporting the future work of Masicorp.
The three types of gifts you can leave in your will:
Residuary gift
A gift of all or a percentage or share of your estate after expenses, pecuniary and specific bequests. The advantage is that it maintains its value, regardless of inflation.
Pecuniary gift
Specific gift
Steps to Consider:
- Choose who to include in your will.
- Think about family, friends and charities. If you’d like to include Masicorp in your will, please ask your legal advisor to use our registered charity name, address and number, if appropriate, to ensure the gift reaches us.
- Decide what gifts you want to give.
- Anything you can leave would have a huge impact. Even 1% of your estate can help ensure we’re always here for the people who need us.
- Choose your executors and, if applicable, guardians, they’ll be responsible for making sure your wishes are fulfilled.
- Talk to your legal advisor or financial planner.
- Discuss your wishes, the value of assets and how to minimise any tax issues.
- If you’ve decided to remember us, consider telling us and let your loved ones know your plans. Doing so allows us to thank you for your pledge during your lifetime in a way that is appropriate for you.
- Update your will If your circumstances or wishes change.
