After more than 12 months in the making, the time to launch the Boomers and Beyond Australian research by Legacy Foresight is here.


Join us to hear Ashley Rowthorn and Jon Franklin on Thursday, November 30th at 10am.


This research piece has been undertaken in Australia, UK and the Netherlands, offering a holistic view of the marketplace and projections – but also individual national forecasts through to 2040.


For Include a Charity members, the Australian research encompasses:

  • Research into the number, profile and wealth of Australian boomers and Gen X.

  • Quantitative consumer research into their attitudes and expectations around gifts in Wills.

  • An update of long-term forecasts for the Australian bequest sector to 2040.

Listen to Ashley Rowthorn of Legacy Futures, and his UK colleagues, launch and share details of this vital research at this special Include a Charity webinar, just before the report is issued to members.

Call out to our members. Please share with your Will-Writers colleagues

We are asking members who have any connections with succession and estate planners in their network to please share the information below for our Will-Writers Survey:

Dear …


As a member of Include a Charity I am looking for 3-5 minutes of your time for important feedback on the Gifts in Wills landscape and an opportunity to be placed on the Include a Charity Solicitor Register for potential clients to find you.


To ensure that we continue offering relevant and important professional development we would like your feedback as a valuable representative in the Australian legal sector.


Please complete the short survey below AND distribute the link to the survey to other Wills & Estate colleagues to help with our responses.


The survey should take less than 5 minutes and can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/gFzy-xbM


Include a Charity is a social change campaign of Fundraising Institute Australia, and their goal is to encourage more people to leave a gift in their will. IAC also advocates for change and best practice with government and estate planning professionals to help and support the public and charitable sector.


Include a Charity is carrying out this survey:

  • To explore the attitudes and behaviours of professional will writers towards discussing charitable giving with clients as part of the will making/ financial planning process

  • To explore the relationship between will writers and charities

  • To track the level of prompting about charitable legacies

  • Explore enablers and barriers to mentioning charitable bequests

  • To track campaign awareness.

Include a Charity also has a register of solicitors on their website for the public to search for a will writer or estate management expert in their area. It is free to register. Here is the link and I invite you to register: https://www.includeacharity.com.au/join-us/for-solicitors/register-as-a-solicitor/

If you have any questions or additional feedback, please get in touch with me by return, or call 1300 889 670 or email includeacharity@fia.org.au.
