Bequest or Legacy

Leaving a legacy is a very personal act. You can choose to leave your gift for general use or instead direct it to a more specific need of the Academy. Leaving a legacy to the Royal Academy of Dance could literally give a child the chance to dance or help us to continue to train teachers who are an inspiration to so many. If you can support us in any way surely that is a legacy worth leaving?

There are three ways in which you can leave a legacy or bequest to the Royal Academy of Dance.

A Pecuniary Legacy
This means that you will leave the Academy a specified sum in your will. Pecuniary legacies can be affected by inflation, so the amount you leave may not be worth as much in the future as when the will is written.

A Residuary Legacy
This is where, after remembering relatives and friends with any specific gifts, you may want to leave some or the entire residue to the Academy.

A Specific Legacy
This refers to a specific item such as books or photographs being left to the Academy. We advise that you should always speak to your solicitor on the most advantageous way to make a bequest or legacy, and on how to draw up or adapt a will.

Fund Administration

The Royal Academy of Dance administers a number of funds that are restricted in purpose. Some of these are listed in the Academy’s Annual Report. These funds have come from a number of sources, among them legacies and bequests, as well as specific events that have been held to raise funds for specific funds.

All funds are administered in agreement with the conditions laid down in the bequest, legacy or event and are accounted for  in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities 2005, and any conditions laid down by the Charities Commission.

Funds are invested in accordance with the wishes of the bequest or legacy or in accordance with the Trustees of the Academy.
