Leaving a lasting legacy: Your enduring gift to the AFCU family

At the heart of the AFCU is a deep sense of family and connection. When you support us during your lifetime, you help build a vibrant community for military Christians. But what if your support could extend far beyond today, continuing to nurture this family for generations to come? By remembering the AFCU in your will, you can create a truly enduring legacy of faith and fellowship.

What is a legacy gift?

A legacy gift, often called a bequest, is a gift made through your will. It’s a powerful way to express your lasting commitment to the values and mission that are dear to your heart.

Your legacy gift is more than just a donation; it’s an investment in the future of our AFCU family. Your generosity, even after you are gone, will continue to build strong connections, foster spiritual growth, and strengthen the bonds of our military Christian family.

Why consider leaving a legacy to the AFCU?

  • A testament to your faith: It's a powerful way to make a lasting statement about your faith and your belief in the importance of Christian support within the Armed Forces.
  • Strengthen our community: You can help ensure that the AFCU continues to be a strong, supportive family for those serving our nation, providing a spiritual home wherever they are.
  • Potential tax benefits: Gifts to registered charities in your will can sometimes reduce the inheritance tax liability on your estate. (Please note: The AFCU cannot provide tax advice; always consult a professional for personalised information.)
  • Easy to arrange: Adding a gift to your will is simpler than you might think and can be done at any stage of life, whether you are making a new will or amending an existing one.
