Id like to ensure that my legacy is used for a specific area of research. How do I do this?
It is best for us if gifts of any kind are made unconditionally. No one can say for certain what our grant portfolio will look like in the future, when a Will becomes effective. For example, if the society sees a particular funding need the BES will be less able to respond to this if the donation is fixed. In addition funding into a specific area may change in time and be well provided for by other sources. In these cases the BES is less flexible to re-direct the funds to other deserving projects and activities within the society’s charitable remit. A supporter can naturally express the wish in their Will that their gift be used to fund an existing grant scheme or area of ecology but it is very important to us that, if at all possible, such requests are stated as a wish and not a binding condition which when the time comes we may not be able to fulfil or accept.
