Inspire through a Legacy

A legacy gift is an expression of your values –it extends into the future carrying the principles that are important to you. Legacy gifts have impact across College, and it’s possible to choose an area that fits with your own passions and priorities, whether that’s student scholarships, academic research, supporting sports or preserving our campus.

Once you have provided for your loved ones, leaving a charitable legacy in your will gives you a meaningful opportunity; the chance to have a tangible impact on the causes that matter to you.

Studying at Trinity College Dublin has shaped the lives of so many- remembering the College in your will helps us safeguard these life-changing experiences for future generations.

Trinity was there for me when I needed it most. Now it's time for me to pass it on

Anne Claffey, 1592 Circle Member

Everyone’s story is different – but there’s a shared connection to Trinity and a common interest in safeguarding the College’s future. Together we can shape the future through education and discovery.
