Legacies & Bequests

Ensure our future ... do you have the Will?

Leave a Legacy to WNO - it costs you nothing now, but could mean a great deal to the Company in the future.

Leaving a Legacy to WNO is an extremely effective way to support the Company, helping it to fulfil its potential and ensure that future generations can also experience the thrill of world class opera. Legacies can be left to WNO either as a single lump sum, offering much-needed added investment to help fund the Company's on-going activities, or as an endowment, the interest of which can be used each and every year by WNO for its work. There are many ways in which Legacies can help WNO and we would be happy to discuss these with you ... please get in touch.

If you have already remembered WNO in your Will, we would be delighted to hear from you - we would like to show our gratitude during your lifetime, once your gift matures it will be too late!

Should you wish to include a Bequest to WNO in an existing Will, please contact me so I can provide you with the appropriate wording for a Codicil.

For further information please contact Head of Individual Giving & Development Servcies Sara Evans or call 029 2063 5047.

The Gift of Shares

Giving Shares to WNO is:

* An excellent way of unlocking capital to benefit the Company
* Extremely tax effective, giving maximum tax benefits to the donor
* An effective way of making a Bequest in your Will
* Very easy!

A Gift of Shares is not only exempt from Capital Gains Tax, but can reduce your taxable income by the market value of the gifted shares. This is particularly helpful for higher rate taxpayers.

Simply contact Sara Evans for a full information pack or call 029 2063 5047.

WNO is extremely grateful to those individuals and businesses who are already supporting us.  For a complete list of our current sponsors, please click on THANK YOU
