Leave a gift in your Will

If you’re considering ways to continue making a lasting impact on the way the world does business, then please talk to us. London Business School has charitable status, so we will ensure that every gift, regardless of size, will sustain your impact beyond your lifetime. 

Leaving a legacy gift to LBS will ensure that future generations can benefit from the same opportunities that shaped your own life and career.

It costs nothing during your lifetime

By remembering us in your Will, you make a significant contribution to safeguarding the future of the School. You can support an aspect of the School with which you have a particular affinity, give an unrestricted gift to support the School’s priorities, or honour an alumna or beloved professor. In doing so, you establish a lasting tribute that sustains the spirit of intellectual curiosity and reflects your values.

Other ways to give

In addition to leaving a cash gift, which may devalue over time, you can also leave a percentage of your estate. You also have the option of nominating London Business School as a beneficiary in your pension or SIPP. Leaving a gift in your Will can reduce inheritance tax rates in the UK and abroad. Law firm Farrer & Co share some additional succession planning ideas – how to “leave a legacy without the drama.”

Please get in touch to find out more about how to include a legacy gift in your Will, add a codicil to an existing Will, or donor-advised funds and other charitable giving options.

We are committed to honouring your legacy

As the school best placed to have global reach and influence on the business world, we guarantee that your gift – whatever its size – will make a fundamental difference to the future of business education and to the future leaders who will drive economic value and social impact.

An ongoing conversation

We welcome discussions with you and your family to ensure your gift is allocated in a way that reflects your values and ambitions. We understand if you want to keep your Will private, but if you do wish to tell us about your legacy pledge to the School, it would be our pleasure to thank you personally. You will become a celebrated member of the 1964 Society and in turn be added to our legacy donor list.

"In addition to regular giving during my lifetime, it’s important to me (and tax efficient) to leave a gift in my Will to ensure my desire to help future generations lives on. I hope my support enables more people to benefit from the great education LBS provides. Knowing I’m shaping the School’s future beyond my lifetime feels great."

Simon Hills MSc13 (1980) , member of the 1964 Society
