My Legacy has called on Government to incentivise and grow charitable gifts in Wills in it’s pre-budget 2025 submission.
€8 billion – €10 billion is currently being transferred annually at probate (Source: Dublin Probate Office 2021) and the current annual value of charitable bequests is circa €94.7 million (Source: CRA 2023). Whilst a growing number of Irish people have already done so, significantly more people would include a charitable gift in their Will now if they were aware that it was a possibility and were encouraged and incentivised to do so; helping to build a sustainable, shock-proof future for Irish charities and their services; whilst enabling a shared path to a more equal Irish society.
