Legacy Giving and the 1571 Society
For over four-and-a-half centuries Jesus College has been sustained by the historic legacies that have built its endowment, and by the generosity of philanthropic donations that have enabled it to thrive since Elizabethan times. All legators who have declared their intention to leave a gift to College in their will are included as members of the 1571 Society and are recognised in our donor publications and invited to attend special events.
Gifts to charity are exempt from Inheritance Tax (IHT) in the UK, and the government provides a further incentive when you leave 10% or more of your net estate to charity.
By including Jesus College in your will, you can make a gift with a lasting impact. Find out more about the 1571 Society.
