Why inheritance and legacy fundraising?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Across Switzerland, more than 500 NGOs are fighting for a donation size of 1.6 billion Swiss francs. In the increasingly fierce competition for donations and with ever-decreasing government subsidies, tmany NGOs are under great pressure when it comes to raising funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, more than 95 billion Swiss francs are inherited annually. In no other country in Europe is so much money per capita inherited \u2013 If an NGO is considered in a will, this happens with amounts between 50\u2019000 to 80\u2018000 Swiss francs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inheritance and legacy fundraising is, therefore, the most attractive source of funding for aid organisations, non-profit cultural institutions and all operational NGOs with a donor\/member or patron base. It is now time to enter this growing market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

How to bequeath a legacy & how to inherit?<\/h2>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Inheritances and legacies don\u2019t just come along \u2013 usually, there is an emotional relationship between the testator and the beneficiary organisation. Using suitable instruments, such valuable people can be identified<\/strong> and possible support can be sought<\/strong>.Whereas in the past<\/strong> we used to mailinheritance brochureswhich<\/strong> was very time-consuming and the usage of which was very uncertain, or used to conduct very resource-intensive personal discussions<\/strong>, today the NGO\u2019s online presence and online fundraising portals such as DeinAdieu are considered by NGOs to be the most relevant instruments.6<\/sup><\/p>\n\n
