Legacy Giving
What will your legacy be?
Gifts in Wills have long helped bring meaningful change to Queen Mary. In recent years, they have funded transformative projects across the university, from scholarships and bursaries that open doors for underrepresented students to groundbreaking research that shapes the wider world.
Leaving a gift in your Will is a deeply personal decision. Your gift can support the area you care about most. Whether that means helping students overcome financial barriers, advancing research, or giving back to a department that shaped your own journey, your gift will help shape the future of Queen Mary and the lives of those who follow in your footsteps.
To discuss a legacy gift to Queen Mary and to request a legacy brochure, please contact Jessica Ballard, Regular Giving Officer, at j.ballard@qmul.ac.uk
