How are we performing?
Legacy Monitor is our flagship benchmarking service, in operation since 1998. By drawing directly
on our clients’ databases, we present the very latest intelligence on legacy incomes, notifications
and values. Each client receives tailored reports, comparing their performance against their peers -
whether by cause area, age or size.
What’s in the pipeline?
Our forecasting team can project the number and value of gifts you receive over the next five years.
Alongside our central forecasts, we provide optimistic and pessimistic scenarios, to help with
financial planning and risk management. These are backed up by clear commentaries, aimed at
busy managers and trustees.
What’s on the horizon?
Our scenario-building service provides an objective view of your future direction and potential.
Drawing on our strategic planning skills and sector knowledge, we overlay your organisation's
positioning, performance and plans with deep-rooted market trends, to create a spectrum of
future possibilities.
What do our donors think?
We manage bespoke research projects to explore emerging issues. Some projects are
commissioned by specific charities, while others are funded by groups of clients, who share their
experience, insights and data. This collaborative approach not only cuts costs; it can also save time
and create opportunities for joint campaigning.
