Any gift, however large or small, will ensure that the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society continues to light up the streets of Edinburgh for years to come.

Leaving a gift in your Will can be a surprisingly straight forward process, but we do recommend that you consult a solicitor who will be able to discuss your plans in relation to your personal circumstances.

Read more about leaving a gift in your Will.
There are four types of legacy you can leave:
- Residuary Bequest - This is a gift of the residue of your estate or share of the residue, after other bequests to your family and friends have been made and all debts, taxes and expenses have been paid.
- Pecuniary Bequest - This is a specified sum of money determined when the Will is written. The value of pecuniary legacies will decrease over time due to inflation and increases in the cost of living.
- Specific Bequest - This is where a particular item of value is bequeathed, such as stocks and shares, proceeds of a Life Assurance Policy, property, furniture, jewellery, buildings and land.
- Contingent Bequest - This is a gift in your Will that depends on another occurrence happening. For example, it could mean leaving a gift in a Will to charity only if other beneficiaries die before the testator (the person making the will).
If you do decide to leave the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society a gift in your will, you will need to include our full name, address and charity number details in your Will, which are listed below.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society
180 High Street

EH1 1QS
Charity Number: SC002995

Estimate the value of your estate and make a list of the people and causes that you would like to benefit. Make an appointment with your solicitor who will ensure the exact wording of your Will and that it is legally binding.

If you are amending a Will, you will need to add a codicil. A codicil is an addition or change to a Will. Every time you want to update your Will you can prepare a codicil and you can have as many of these as you like.

If you do decide to leave a gift in your Will to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, please let us know as this helps us with long-term financial planning. Please contact the Development team on +44 (0)131 226 0036 or email [email protected]
