Legacy Futures Bursary Awards 2024

Our mission is to help charities grow with legacy giving.

As part of our commitment, we have set up the Legacy Futures Bursary Awards, aiming to invest in the future talent that will take our sector forward.

This year, we are proud to announce that our Future Leader Bursary is run in partnership with the Elischer Foundation who support talented fundraisers who have the drive and ambition to be the next generation of sector leaders.

We have two bursary award categories:

  1. The Crispin Ellison Bursary – furthering professional development in legacy administration
  2. The Future Leader Bursary – a leadership pathway for people working in legacy or in-memory roles, in partnership with the Elischer Foundation

Whether you are new to the sector, or looking to make the next step in your legacy giving journey, there is a bursary award for you.

I hope you apply and good luck!

Ashley Rowthorn, CEO Legacy Futures
