Leave a gift in your Will
A charity gift in your Will is a special way to reach out to future generations.
CAFOD is a proud member of Your Catholic Legacy - a group of Catholic charities working together to protect the future of Catholic causes by encouraging gifts in Wills.
People around the world are supported by Catholic organisations and the Church in their fight against injustice and poverty. In turn, Catholic causes depend upon the kindness of the Catholic community and especially gifts left in the Wills of parishioners and supporters.
Help to build a better world
Legacy gifts fund about a third of our long-term support to help people out of poverty and make it possible for us to respond to emergencies quickly.
That’s why Catholic charities have come together as the group Your Catholic Legacy to raise awareness of the impact of legacy gifts to the work of Catholic charities.

What are you thankful for?
This year, Catholic Legacy Week also marks 10 years of Catholic causes working together as part of Your Catholic Legacy.
To celebrate, Your Catholic Legacy are asking: what are we thankful for? And could you look forward too? Could you consider giving back, in gratitude, through a gift in your Will?
Writing a Will is your chance to say something about the person you are, the people you love and the values you hold dear. By including a gift to CAFOD in your plans, you can give back in gratitude and make a real difference to the lives of our sisters and brothers around the world.
What will your Catholic legacy be?
Whether you leave something for your local community, a national service, or aid projects and missions in developing countries, you can leave a legacy of love and hope to people in their hour of need.
