More and more of our generous supporters are choosing to leave a legacy to St. Joseph’s Foundation so they can make a difference to generations to come. Whether you leave a small or large amount, everything can make a difference:

• €100 could provide information arts and craft supplies for users of our service
• €2,000 could help provide new computer equipment for one of our hubs
• €15,000 could help purchase new forms of transports for our units

Types of legacies

• Pecuniary: A gift of a specific amount of money.
• Residuary: A share in the rest of your assets that you have not already given to your family and friends.
• Specific: A gift of a specific item. This can include land, property, art, bonds or a sum of money.
• A codicil: A codicil needs to be witnessed and signed in the same way as the original will, and should be kept in the same place as the original will.

If you have already made a will and you wish to give a gift to St. Joseph’s Foundation, you will need to prepare a new will, or ask your solicitor to add a codicil (addition) in a similar way to the original will.
