Leaving a legacy to Quartet Community Foundation is a gift of real and lasting value to local people.

• A legacy gift to Quartet is a way of helping people in your own community for generations to come.
• Legacy gifts left to us are exempt from inheritance tax and could reduce the total amount of tax paid on your estate.
• You can, if you wish, specify precisely which area and cause you want your gift to reach. 
• Your gift will keep on giving – unlike many charities that will spend your money within a year or two, all Quartet legacies are invested and only the income from interest is used to make grants year after year, forever.
• Rather than choosing just one charity to help, your gift will reach a wide range and number of local voluntary groups and charities in need.
• We assess and monitor each project carefully so you can be sure your money will make a real difference.
• Things change over time – and Quartet changes too. We will always make sure that your legacy money goes where the need is greatest, where it can make the most difference.

Why your legacy will help
Each year we make hundreds of grants to small charities and voluntary groups in this area, to tackle local problems and care for local people in need. Your generosity could help us fund projects like these:

• A lunch club which helps to combat loneliness and isolation amongst older people
• A programme of social activities for people with learning difficulties
• A community bus service benefiting pensioners and other people on low incomes.

Every gift, whatever its value, makes a difference.
