Gifts in Wills
When you leave a gift in your Will, also known as a legacy, to the Progress Educational Trust (PET), your legacy will be the future voice of the responsible application of reproductive and genetic science.
It allows PET to improve choices for people. You will be the reason people affected by infertility and genetic conditions in the future will be able to access the most effective and up to date treatments.
Why give a gift to PET in your Will?
1 in 6 people are affected
by infertility
1 in 17 people are affected
by a rare genetic disease
For more than 30 years PET has provided impartial and accurate information to people affected by infertility or genetic conditions, and provides platforms for them – and relevant experts and practitioners – to discuss scientific, ethical, legal and policy developments in these areas.
A gift in your Will to PET is an incredible way to leave a lasting legacy in the ever-changing fields of assisted reproduction and genomics. Gifts in Wills are vital to all areas of our work, so any gift you give, big or small, will make a significant difference.
By remembering PET in your Will, you’ll ensure that we can continue to be here to enable education and debate about reproductive and genetic science to thrive.
We understand that family and loved ones will always take priority and we are extremely grateful for every legacy left to us.
You can a leave from 1%-100% of your estate to PET. Please know that your gift big or small is really needed.
If you would like to leave a sum of money, please consider making it indexed-linked so that its value stands the test of time.
