Your Legacy
Considering leaving a legacy of your own? Here’s the key information you will need. Leaving a gift in your will is a deeply personal matter and for many of us, a legacy gift will be the most significant donation we ever make. After you have provided for your loved ones, we hope you will consider remembering the College in your will. You can add Dulwich to your will by contacting your Solicitor. All they need to be able to add the College as a beneficiary is our registered charity number 1150064. If you choose to remember Dulwich College in your will, you may be able to reduce the taxable value of your assets and so lower the amount of tax due on your estate. As a registered charity (no.1150064), gifts left to the College are free from capital gains tax and inheritance tax. In addition, leaving a gift of 10% or more of the net estate value over the IHT threshold to the College, can reduce the rate of Inheritance Tax payable on your estate from 40 per cent to 36 per cent. You can specify how you would like your gift to be used. If you would like to support bursaries or partnerships you can direct your gift to the Bursary Appeal Fund or Partnership Fund. We appreciate the significance of every donation. Please contact Kathi Palitz, Head of Philanthropy to discuss your options via email PalitzK@dulwich.org.uk or phone +44 (0) 20 8299 5369.
Meet the class of 2031 This year, 70 bright new pupils joined the College at Year 7, with 50% of the cohort coming from state schools and 11 pupils in receipt of deep bursaries (more than 75% of fees covered).
With each generation of new Alleynians that enter the College, we are reminded of the significant impact your financial support will have on these young lives. Legacy gifts in particular afford the College the ability to support boys in need of bursary support for years and years to come. Gifts made to our endowment will provide bursary support in perpetuity, meaning that your legacy truly is endless. Expenditure on bursaries has increased significantly over the last 15 years, much of which has been made possible by the contribution of legacies left to the Bursary Fund at Dulwich College. Supporters who choose to include Dulwich College in their will are invited to join our Canon Carver Society. Since its founding in 2004, the Canon Carver Society has grown its membership to 235 total members with 120 living members in our ranks. We have received 130 gifts of all sizes from members, totalling over £6 million. We are also very grateful that our members have contributed further to Dulwich, as volunteers, mentors, and donors.
We received £226,000 in legacy gifts this year
