Universities now engage alumni who live, work, and retire across every region of the world - yet many legacy programmes remain primarily domestic in focus. As philanthropic behaviours evolve and international alumni deepen their sense of connection to their alma mater, higher education institutions face both a growing opportunity and a complex set of considerations when cultivating legacy gifts across borders. This session explores global legacy giving in higher education: how to identify and inspire global prospects, how to steward legacy donors at a distance, and what universities must navigate when realising an overseas estate gift. All using practical examples from across the sector and encouraging sharing of knowledge in the room. We do not have all the answers but we hope to share some interesting insights and real life examples of the challenges, successes and interesting case studies not just from the US but elsewhere, some markets opening up to the idea of legacy giving. Using some interactive input from delegates and encouraging conversations with attendees and the presenters it would be a sharing of knowledge and an insight to legacy giving globally. Why should institutions consider engaging more across borders and what things to think about when planning this. This session can give insights for those just starting to consider global legacy giving at little or no cost with ideas for a those already engaged in this area but want to hear about some options for engagement and stewardship and may be willing to invest a bit more.
