Allocating a Gift to CBM Ireland is a straightforward process that can be amended at any time to reflect any changes you wish to make. A Will is written with support from your Solicitor, who will help you decide which type of gift you will leave and the wording necessary.
This is what your Solicitor will require from us:
Registered Charity Name: CBM Ireland
Registered Charity Number: 20050405
Charity CHY Number: 14987
Registered Charity Address: 176 Ivy Exchange, Granby Place, Dublin 1, Ireland
For more information, please contact us.
CBM Ireland is a proud partner of MyLegacy.ie
My Legacy is an umbrella group of Irish charities working together to make it easier to leave a gift to charity in your Will. (Wording to be confirmed with CBM.)
Whether you would like an information pack in the post, a download link, we would be delighted to hear from you.
A Legacy is part of your final wishes in the allocation of your estate, either as a fixed sum or a percentage of your estate. Legacies are a deeply meaningful final wish and cost nothing to add to your Will, and they ensure that your support continues. By leaving a Legacy, your support continues to fund essential programmes that directly benefit hundreds of children and families for generations to come.
Yes, we would be honoured to make sure that your final wishes are listened to and carried out accordingly. Please do reach out to us directly so we can discuss in more detail.
Yes, any gifts you leave to charities are tax free. This means that you may have Gifts allocated to different charities in your Will. Additionally, if you leave at least 10% of your total estate to a charity like CBM, the inheritance tax on the rest of your inheritance may also be reduced. We highly recommend that you discuss this with your Solicitor. You may also find more resources on MyLegacy.ie.
Yes, we would be very happy to help you inform your family and friends of your wishes through the RIP.ie website, where your Death Notice and/or Anniversary Notice can include a short message of your wishes. Please do reach out to us so we can help you facilitate this.
To simply leave a codicil, which is a short message in your Will, you would need to provide CBM Ireland’s registered charity details and the sum you wish to leave. We recommend that you contact your Solicitor as they are the best person suited to guide you. However, we would be happy to help you choose where your Gift is allocated, as we work in over 10 countries. Please contact us for more information.
Yes, we are always happy to discuss our Legacy Programme. You may reach us directly on 01 873 0300 or email us at legacies@cbm.ie. You may also find us at 176 Ivy Exchange, Granby Place, Dublin 1.
We understand that creating or amending your Will may come with feelings of grief.
If you are looking for support, you may contact the Irish Hospice Foundation national freephone service on 1800 80 70 77, available Monday to Friday, 10am–1pm.
