Legacies
What is a charitable legacy?
Your name can be part of the path toward zero cancer. Forever.
A charitable legacy to FERO Cancer is a way to extend your commitment to research beyond your lifetime. It is a way to turn what you have built into science that can save the lives of future generations.
You do not need to be a millionaire to leave a legacy. Anyone can include FERO Cancer in their will, in whatever proportion they choose. What matters is not the amount. It is the decision.
In Spain, fewer than 5% of wills include a donation to a charitable cause. In the English-speaking world, that percentage exceeds 30%. The difference is not cultural; it is a matter of information and access. FERO Cancer wants to change that.
How it works
Including FERO Cancer in your will is simpler than you think.
You allocate a specific amount of money to FERO Cancer, which you specify in your will.
You allocate a percentage of your estate to FERO Cancer. This is the most flexible option, as it automatically adapts to the value of the assets at the time of death.
You allocate a specific asset (a property, a securities portfolio, a work of art) to FERO Cancer.
You allocate to FERO Cancer what remains of the estate after providing for legal heirs and other legacies.
