Welcome to our Legacy Circle

Letting your love shine on through your legacy

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Findhorn Foundation Legacy Circle.

By including the Findhorn Foundation in your Will, you will automatically become a member of our Legacy Circle.

The objectives of our Legacy Circle

  • Create a circle of love and connection

    We will create a circle of love and connection between the Findhorn Foundation and those who have put the Foundation in their Will.

  • Support the transformative work

    Your legacy will support the transformative work of the Findhorn Foundation for generations to come, contributing to its long-term financial sustainability.

  • Create a bond of trust

    We create a bond of trust for those putting the Findhorn Foundation in their Will: to ensure their wishes and intentions are understood and complied with, and to explore ways for gifts to be honoured and acknowledged.

Why include the Findhorn Foundation in your Will?

If you are reading this, it is probable that the Findhorn Foundation has had a significant impact on your life, as it has for tens of thousands of people. Your experience was made possible by the legacy of the Founders, Peter, Eileen, and Dorothy, and the amazing spiritual and financial legacies of others who have been part of this “one incredible family.”

We live in ‘exciting’ times, where the transformative message of the Findhorn Foundation is needed more than ever. By including the Findhorn Foundation in your Will, you will ensure that future generations will have the same opportunity for spiritual emergence and transformation.

Why make a Will?

It is common to feel resistance to thinking about death, but making a Will gives you peace of mind and ensures that your values and intentions live on after your passing. A Will enables you to demonstrate your love and care to your family, your loved ones, and to causes that are important to you.

If you die without a Will, your estate is distributed according to Intestacy Rules, which may go against your wishes. In the UK, if you die without a Will and have no spouse, children, or living relatives, your estate is given to the Crown.

If you have already put the Findhorn Foundation in your Will

The love and kindness you have shown through your gift is deeply valued and appreciated. Please let us know via our contact form. We would love to include you in this Circle and to honour your love and support for the Foundation. It may be that you would like your Legacy to be used in a specific way, and we want to ensure that your wishes and intentions are followed. If you prefer to discuss matters personally, please reach out to us.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Legacy Circle

  • You can make simple amendments to a Will through what is called a codicil, an instruction that you attach to your Will, rather than having the expense of redrafting it. If you would like to hear more about how you can make a codicil, please let us know.

  • If you give permission, new members of the Findhorn Foundation Legacy Circle are thanked in our donor newsletter.

  • If you are thinking of making a gift to the Findhorn Foundation in your Will, thank you! Your love and support are truly appreciated. You will need to include the following information in your Will or Codicil:

  • UK: National Free Wills Network

    In order to help our supporters in the UK who want to make a Will, we have joined the National Free Wills Network. This enables you to have your will written free of charge by a solicitor near your home. The offer applies to the writing of a ‘simple’ Will, i.e., one that does not deal with complex issues. Please fill in our contact form if you would like to make provisions for your loved ones and ensure that your wishes are followed.

    USA: Free Will

    In order to help our supporters in the US who want to make a Will, there is a free online service at www.freewill.com, which can help you in writing a Will. We recommend you still consult with an attorney if you use this service. Please fill in our contact form if you would like to make provisions for your loved ones and ensure that your wishes are followed.

  • If you have included the name of the Findhorn Foundation with its Charity Registration number (SCO007233) in your Will, you will need to amend your Will to show the new Charity Registration number SCO51938.

    If you have simply stated in your Will the name of the Findhorn Foundation at The Park, Findhorn, there is no need to amend your Will, although it might be wise to add the Charity Registration number (SCO51938).

    If you have any questions on this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out for clarification via our Fundraising contact form.
