Leaving a gift in your will

Leaving a gift to the Reading List Foundation in your will is a powerful way to leave a lasting legacy, and help support exceptional young students succeed at university for years to come.

Our Scholarships help students with direct practical, financial and emotional support – with the personal sense of achievement valued by students as much, if not more than, the financial value.

“I felt really grateful that I’d been given so much help for my time at university. It made me feel like my hard work at College had been recognised, which was a great feeling.”

“The award gave me the confidence to go to University. On Results Day I was still quite hesitant about going to university, especially with my university being Russell Group and the fact I’d be the first generation of my family to attend university. However, receiving the Scholarship reassured me that the people around me thought I could succeed at university, and that made me excited to attend.”

Leaving a gift

We have private donors supporting Scholarships at their local school, the college they attended when they were young, and in the area they grew up in – each option bringing a personal element to their gifts.

If you are thinking of leaving a gift to the Reading List Foundation in your will, we would happily discuss how a gift could potentially be used in way that means the most to you. If you wish to include the Reading List Foundation in your will, you will need the following details:

  • Registered name: The Reading List Foundation
  • Address: 11 Earl Richards Road North, EXETER EX2 6AQ
  • Registered Charity Number: 1164690

And remember, a small gift in your will can make a huge difference to a Charity. Even leaving 1% of your estate to the Reading List Foundation means 99% remains for your loved ones and other causes.

Thank you.

“I’ve never felt academically confident but finding out I’d even been put forward for something like this meant so much to me. I’m now in my second year of university and the amount of confidence it’s given me has literally changed me as a person.”
