Gift in Will - Leave a Legacy to Encephalitis International

Encephalitis International does not receive any statutory funds and we rely heavily on the generosity of our donors: individuals, organisations, corporations and trusts whose efforts are greatly appreciated. As you may know, our mission is to build better futures by driving research, accelerating awareness, and saving lives.

Many charities, like us, depend on gifts in Wills to survive. Of course, you may need and want to provide for your loved ones, but you can give much of your estate to family/friends and still leave an impactful and lasting legacy to a cause close to your heart.

One of the most profound ways you can support Encephalitis International long into the future is to leave us a gift in your Will – it can improve sustainability and bring hope for future generations. We even offer UK residents the opportunity to write their Will for free, whether or not they decided to leave us a gift.

  • better encephalitis diagnostics, improved treatment and more effective after-care.

FAQs

Wunmi's Legacy

“I usually refer to this dreadful condition as a ‘thief of self’ because it took so much away from me. Encephalitis International is a lifesaver, I really do not know how I would have coped with the new me without the information and support from Encephalitis International. Leaving a gift in my Will is a no-brainer!”
