Legacies
Over 60 years ago, St Donat’s Castle was gifted to UWC Atlantic, transforming it into a home for future leaders dedicated to building a peaceful and sustainable world. Since then, thousands of students have walked through its historic doors, leaving an enduring legacy of global impact.
By leaving a gift in your will, you can be part of this powerful story. Your legacy will shape the future, empowering UWC Atlantic to face challenges, embrace new opportunities, and continue changing lives for generations.
There are many meaningful ways to make your legacy reflect your values:
- You can support our scholarship fund, helping to expand the diversity of students who experience a UWC Atlantic education.
- You could invest in our campus, preserving the beauty of St Donat’s and supporting capital projects for future growth.
- You might choose to fund educational innovation, ensuring UWC Atlantic continues to lead in global education.
- You could help build our endowment fund to provide forever scholarships for future generations to come
- Or, leave an unrestricted gift, providing UWC Atlantic with the flexibility to address urgent needs and secure its financial future.
Your gift, no matter its size, will have a lasting impact.
Willem de Vogel - Legacy Donor
“There would never have been a UWC Atlantic without the generosity of private donors. UWC Atlantic gave me an unbelievable start in life. Leaving one's home country at 16 is a big step. Living in a challenging environment, both intellectually and physically, prepared me to take on many other big steps. So I was able to embrace opportunities when they came my way, although it never was without risk.
Today I can afford to make a legacy gift without hurting my children. I doubt I could have given them any inheritance without my UWC Atlantic years. And I can make annual gifts. So I follow in a very modest way the examples of AC’s financial founders. I hope many of you had similar experiences to mine. If so, please consider making a legacy gift.”
