CIBSE’s values are to lead, empower, champion and inspire better-performing buildings for society and the environment. By supporting CIBSE through a gift in your will, you’ll be directly aiding this mission.
As a registered charity, CIBSE operates for the public benefit, and any legacy or donation, large or small, makes a difference to our work – such as supporting members through the benevolent fund, or promoting building services to younger generations through CIBSE’s Education Fund.
Alternatively, if you have a project that interests you, get in touch and we can work with you to make it happen.
Bequests are not subject to inheritance tax in the UK. Those leaving more than 10% of their taxable estate to charity can reduce the rate of inheritance tax from 40% to 36%.
There are several ways to leave a gift to us in a will:
- Residuary gift: the remainder, or a percentage of the remainder, of an estate after all other gifts to family and friends have been distributed.
- Pecuniary gift: a specified sum of money.
- Restricted gift: the money can be used to support a particular CIBSE activity.
- Specific gift: an object that is part of the estate. It might constitute a collection of specimens, manuscripts, drawings or other valuables.
