New Partnership with Free Will Ireland

Creating or updating your will is a simple and powerful way think about the people, places, and causes that matter most to you. As a valued supporter of UCC, you may also wish to consider how your connection with—and support for—the university could continue for generations to come. Discover how a gift in your will can create a lasting impact and access a free online will-writing service through Free Will Ireland.

What’s Your Legacy? - New Partnership with Free Will Ireland

As a valued supporter of UCC, you already know the difference giving back can make. Whether through supporting students, research, scholarships, facilities or a particular area of the university meaningful to you, your generosity is helping shape UCC’s future.

Your will offers another way to make that difference last.

A Simple Way to Plan for the Future

UCC and Cork University Foundation are pleased to offer alumni and supporters resident in the Republic of Ireland access to a free online will-writing service through Free Will Ireland.

The service allows you to create a simple, legally valid will online at no cost, from the comfort of your own home. If your family or financial circumstances are more complex, we recommend speaking with a solicitor to ensure your will reflects your individual needs.

Making or updating your will is first and foremost about looking after the people you love and ensuring your wishes are respected. Once you have provided for family and friends, you may also wish to consider remembering UCC with a gift to Cork University Foundation in your will.

Your Support Can Continue into the Future

A legacy gift of any amount to Cork University Foundation for the benefit of UCC can create an impact that reaches far beyond your lifetime.

For many of our donors, including a gift in their will is a personal way of recognising what UCC has meant to them and helping future generations experience the same opportunities. A legacy can support the area of UCC that matters most to you, from student support and scholarships to research and innovation.

There is no obligation to include a charitable gift when using the Free Will service. It is simply an opportunity to put your affairs in order while having the option of including a gift of any amount in your will to support UCC.

If you have already supported UCC during your lifetime, a legacy gift can be a meaningful way of sustaining that support, helping ensure the areas of the university you care about remain strong for generations to come.

Your support has already made a difference. A gift in your will can help that difference continue.
