End-of-life planning project seeks crowdfunding
A UK organisation, Legacy Compass, has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help kick-start its mission to redefine end-of-life planning and support.
According to Legacy Compass, the average cost of dying is £9,650, and post-death administration takes on average 39 working days, with families facing up to 95 decisions during emotionally challenging times.
The crowdfunding campaign aims to raise £25,000 to launch its platform in the UK and help people simplify the conversations around loss and end-of-life, providing a personalised experience in navigating loss.
Legacy Compass is intended to offer an easy step-by-step personalised process that uses conversational, practical, and emotional prompts resulting in a unique user profile and data set. Using this unique data, Legacy Compass provides personalised administrative plans, suggests appropriate supportive communities and organisations, and offers access to a trusted pool of useful professionals and services.
The project is backed by The National Innovation Centre for Ageing, University of Birmingham, The National Institute for the Care of the Elderly, the Prime Minister’s Champion Group (PMCG) for Dementia, Creating Conversations CIC, and others.
Crowdfunding supporters are offered:
- Early Platform Access: Be among the first to use the tools and support that Legacy Compass provides
- Conversation Cards: Thoughtful prompts for discussions on life, values, and planning
- Workshops: Sessions on legacy, estate and legacy planning, and storytelling for sharing family histories
