Leave a Gift in Your Will

A Legacy That Builds Futures

For over twenty years, Mellon Educate has worked to break the cycle of poverty through education.

From building and renovating schools to delivering intensive early literacy programmes in under-resourced communities in South Africa, our mission is simple:

Every child deserves the opportunity to read, learn and thrive.

By choosing to leave a gift in your Will, you can ensure that this work continues long into the future.

A legacy donation is not simply a financial contribution. It is a lasting expression of your values — and a powerful way to shape generations to come.

What Is a Legacy Donation?

Education is one of the most powerful tools for change.

Children who cannot read with comprehension by age 10 are significantly more likely to struggle throughout their education and face limited economic opportunities later in life. Early literacy builds confidence, resilience and long-term opportunity.

A legacy gift to Mellon Educate could:

Build and renovate safe, permanent classrooms
Expand early literacy programmes reaching thousands of children
Support teacher training and digital learning innovation
Strengthen school feeding initiatives so children can focus and learn

When you choose legacy giving, you are not just supporting a project; you are building futures.

The Impact of Your Legacy

Thanks to the support of more than 250,000 people across Ireland and over 10,000 volunteers, Mellon Educate has delivered large-scale school construction and literacy transformation in communities where it is needed most.

Legacy donations allow us to:

Plan long-term
Invest sustainably
Expand proven literacy interventions
Respond strategically to educational need

Your gift can ensure that classrooms continue to be built and that children continue to learn to read long into the future.

A Personal and Private Decision

We understand that leaving a gift in your Will is a deeply personal decision.

Any conversation about legacy giving will always be handled with discretion, respect and complete confidentiality.

There is no obligation, simply an opportunity to explore how your values might live on through education.
