Legacies
Many alumni and friends of Birkbeck have demonstrated their support to the College by choosing to remember Birkbeck in their Will.
Legacies are a vital source of funding which help to ensure the financial health and security of the College in the future.
Gifts left to the College have helped to maintain Birkbeck’s reputation as a world-class research institution and leading part-time evening university in London.
Past legacy donations have resulted in cutting-edge, internationally recognised research as well as enabling hundreds of students to take advantage of the opportunities that Birkbeck creates.
Birkbeck is an educational charitable and chartered corporation, exempt under the terms of the Charities Act 1993. Under the Charities Act 2006, universities are supervised by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) as principal regulator, who are charged with ensuring that the College fulfil their obligations under Charity Law and therefore, a legacy made in the UK will be exempt from inheritance tax.
