Bequests and
wills
Offer a future of solidarity through your legacy
Choosing to include Ucoopiain your will means extending your commitment to a fairer, more united, and sustainable world.
Regardless of the amount or nature of your bequest, your gesture will directly contribute to funding projects that tangibly improve the living conditions of the communities we work with.
The different options for supporting Ucoopia
The traditional legacy
You designate Ucoopia as the beneficiary of part of your assets in your will.
This can take several forms:
- Universal legacy: all of your assets are bequeathed to Ucoopia.
- Universal legacy: you bequeath a specific portion of your estate (a percentage, a type of asset, etc.).
- Specific bequest: you bequeath a specific asset (sum of money, house, jewelry, work of art, etc.).
The joint legacy
If you have no direct heirs and wish to leave your estate to a charity and a friend or distant relative, while avoiding high inheritance taxes, a dual legacy is an excellent option. Your estate is divided into two parts: one for your loved ones, the other for Ucoopia. As a recognized association, we benefit from a more advantageous inheritance tax rate. We therefore take care of all inheritance taxes, which significantly increases the share that goes to your loved ones.
Life insurance
You can name Ucoopia as the beneficiary (total or partial) of your life insurance policy. It’s simple, quick, and does not require you to change your will.
Personalized support
We know that thinking about your will is an important step. We are here to listen to you, in complete confidentiality, to answer your questions and help you find the solution that best suits your wishes.
3 good reasons to leave a legacy to Ucoopia
A lasting impact
We work hand in hand with local communities to ensure that projects are relevant and sustainable: improving health, boosting incomes, protecting the environment, civic education, etc.
Actions based on knowledge
As a university NGO, Ucoopia draws on scientific research, local knowledge, and innovation to design its projects. By leaving a legacy to ULB-Coopération, you are helping to strengthen this valuable link between the academic world and the field.
Optimal use of your donations
We ensure that your donation is used in the best possible way: for every euro received, 90 cents goes directly to our projects. This is much more than most “large” NGOs. We control our personnel and operating costs, including communication, to maximize the budgets available in the field and the impact of our projects.
