Gifts in Wills

Creating a society that solves its own problems

Leaving a bequest to The Fore is an opportunity to support our vision for a society that solves its own problems and create a lasting legacy.  The Fore provides evidence-led, high-impact support for the best, high-potential small charities.  Our goal is for exceptional grassroots solutions to achieve nationwide impact in five years.

The UK faces immense challenges, from inequality, ill health, and injustice, to climate change. Thousands of innovative local charities have scalable or replicable solutions that could create the change we need but barriers to funding and skills are halting their ability to expand their impact beyond a local context.

The Fore’s rigorous, equitable, transparent approach screens thousands of small charities and social enterprises to find and fund those with exceptional leadership, innovative ideas and cost-effective solutions.

A proven track record

At The Fore we have a proven track record of providing high-impact grants that catalyse exceptional small charities and their leaders, improving the sustainability, efficiency and scale of their work. Over 50% of the charities we backed over eight years ago are now having nationwide impact.  You can read our latest Impact Report here.

Tailor your gift

Leaving a gift in your Will is personal and, for many, its important that the impact it has reflects what matters most to you.

Our flexible bequeathing procedure means you decide what the process looks like and how your gift is used. Depending on the nature and scale of your gift, we can take into account particular causes, communities or places that are meaningful to you, while ensuring your gift can achieve the greatest possible impact.

Updates for you and your family

It is vital that you feel confident the gift you leave in your Will will create meaningful change. From the moment you let us know of your intention to leave a gift, we can keep you and/or a nominated individual updated on our work, both during your lifetime and beyond.

You will receive our latest Impact and Insight Reports, along with summaries of the exceptional grassroots charities we back, so you can see the difference your legacy will help to create.
