Many generous alumni have chosen to include Darwin in their Will so that their gift will have an impact for years to come.

How to leave a legacy to Darwin
When making a Will, it is best to seek help from a legal advisor. If you already have a Will, you don’t have to rewrite it to include a gift to Darwin. This can be achieved by adding a codicil to your existing Will. Your lawyer will also be able to help you with reducing your tax liabilities.
Please consider making your gift for ‘general College purposes’. This allows support to be given across the core activities of the College and benefits the largest proportion of members.
1964 Society
The College is keen to recognise those who have planned a bequest. Membership of the 1964 Society is offered to those who notify us of arrangements to remember Darwin in their Will. Members of the 1964 Society will be invited back to special events and formal dinners.
If you have already listed Darwin as a beneficiary in your Will and would like to become a member of the 1964 Society, please contact us at development@darwin.cam.ac.uk. If you have not yet considered this option, do get in touch to find out more about how your legacy gift can benefit the entire College community.
