The question our legacy team is asked most often is ‘if I leave a legacy to support your work, how can I be sure the money will be used properly?’
Whether quoting the 2007 top level, independent Global Accountability Report in which Christian Aid was commended as a ‘top performer,’ or talking about grassroots accountability of partners and the monitoring and evaluation work of our in-country programme management teams, it’s a question we are confident answering.
Christian Aid takes effective and efficient delivery of programmes and work very seriously. When things go wrong, time is invested to understand the cause, and how to put it right.
We also recognise that many people leave a gift because of a sense of their accountability and stewardship of what they own. As you consider how you will account for your possessions in your will, please consider whether you can leave part of your estate to help bring a more just world.
Every legacy we receive is a gift of trust – we take the responsibility that brings seriously.
