Legacy
Bocconi University was made possible by a donation from Ferdinando Bocconi in memory of his son Luigi, as an act of faith in progress and in the advancement of knowledge. Over the years, the University has demonstrated its ability to contribute to the Country’s development by investing - together with Alumni, friends and partners - in the education of new generations, the transmission of knowhow and the advancement of knowledge.
There are many ways to make a tangible contribution to this collective project; one of them is through legacy giving, which is an extremely effective way of supporting the University and, at the same time, achieving the donor’s philanthropic goals by taking care of people they care about.
This is a genuine, altruistic act of giving: it means projecting the past into the future, offering a legacy of your commitment to young people and research. It means leaving a strong, lasting testimony, just as Ferdinando Bocconi did over 100 years ago.
Any gift, large or small, can make a huge difference.
Any legacy gift made to institutions focussing on education and public utility, such as Bocconi, is fully exempted from taxation: for us, this is particularly effective and valuable.
Contact us to find out how you can continue to help Bocconi in the future. We would be delighted to discuss any aspect of philanthropy and how you can support the University’s projects.

Q&A
If you are planning to leave a legacy for a specific project of the University – a named study room or scholarship, for example - we would be delighted to discuss this with you so that we can fully understand your wishes.
Imagine the impact that your planned gift from 12.000 eur will have on a BA student, who will receive financial support for the duration of his/her studies thanks to your generosity.
No, you can generally amend your Will to include a gift to Bocconi by preparing a document called a Codicil. We recommend that you consult a notary/solicitor to ensure that the Codicil is valid and your wishes will take effect. It is a very easy thing for you to do, but it will go a long way.
Remember that notaries/solicitors won’t pass any information about their clients' Legacy pledges to the intended beneficiaries. If you have left us a gift in your Will, please do let us know by contacting us: we want to be able to thank you for the gift you have planned. All the information you decide to share with us will be confidential.
