Our Future, Your Legacy

SHARE YOUR LOVE OF BALLET WITH FUTURE GENERATIONS

Dear ballet lovers, dance discoverers, live music fans…

When you leave a gift in your Will to Scottish Ballet, you are protecting Scotland’s cultural heritage for future generations. Your gift, large or small, will create a robust, dynamic and resilient future for Scotland’s national dance company.

The Scottish Ballet Endowment Fund invests gifts made in Wills to Scottish Ballet to provide long term support for the company’s productions, projects and health and wellbeing programmes across the country.

HOW A GIFT IN YOUR WILL COULD HELP Help bring the joy of ballet to future generations of performing arts lovers.

Together, gifts to the Scottish Ballet Endowment Fund could help us build state-of-the-art sets and create enchanting costumes for a new ballet, include live musicians at our dance classes for young people or people with neurological conditions, commission a soaring orchestral score or ground-breaking new choreographer, or provide life-changing bursaries for future generations of young dancers – they may not even be born yet, but your generosity will touch their lives.

A CHARITY LIKE NO OTHER As a charity, Scottish Ballet relies on the generosity of patrons like you to support our work. Once you have made provisions for those close to you, we invite you to consider making our future part of your legacy.

HOW TO REMEMBER US It is easy to leave a gift in your Will to the Scottish Ballet Endowment Fund and it won’t cost you anything in your lifetime.

We suggest you speak to your solicitor and give our charity details as follows: Full legal name of the company is: Scottish Ballet Endowment Fund Registered Charity number: SCIO (SC049065) Suggested wording: I give and bequeath to the Scottish Ballet Endowment Fund, Scottish Charity Number SC049065 (“The Fund”) the sum of £x (or the whole or % of the residue of my estate), to be used for the general purposes of Scottish Ballet at the discretion of the Trustees of the Fund.

Thank you for considering this terrific act of generosity and support.
