Legacy gifts deserve more than a polite paragraph in the newsletter.
A legacy programme is a promise to a donor’s future values. GlobetrottingFundraiser helps charities build the strategy, marketing, engagement, governance, and trust to keep it.
Trust at the heart of everything
Donor engagement built on consistency, transparency, and genuine stewardship.
Strategy based on evidence
Every recommendation is grounded in research, data, and tested international practice.
Customized for your organization
Realistic sequencing, clear priorities, and plans that fit the people and resources you actually have.
Hi! I’m Ligia, the Globetrotting Fundraiser.
I’ve spent 25 years building and growing fundraising and legacy programmes for charities and INGOs. I’m also completing a PhD at the University of Kent researching donor trust in legacy giving, because I’d rather build strategy on evidence than instinct.
Traveling the world to help and train charities to build legacy programs grounded in evidence, trust, and capacity is what fuels me every day.
How we solve problems
Strategic Legacy Consulting
From "we should do something about legacies" to "here's exactly what we're doing, and why." We can develop your strategy, conduct a donor analysis, and create an implementation roadmap that gives your legacy programme the structure and support to grow, so it can do more for the mission you exist to serve.
Donor Opportunity Engine
Your donor data already knows things your team doesn't. This quarterly analysis, run in partnership with Focus Further Solutions, turns your donor data into focused priorities and capacity-aligned action, so you stop guessing where to focus.
Legacy Bootcamp
Level up your skills by learning more than just the fundamentals. The Bootcamp is a self-paced, practical training programme for teams with modest means, without sacrificing quality. The program covers the core building blocks of a legacy programme, donor engagement, and marketing, at a fraction of the cost.
Speaking and Training
Legacy giving doesn't have to be a cure for insomnia. Whether you need a keynote, workshops, and tailored training, I bring all the research, none of the snooze, and yes, I can back it up with footnotes.
Honoured By Their Trust

If your organisation is serious about legacy fundraising, not just interested in it, let's talk about what "ready" actually looks like for you.
Thinking out loud
Legacy fundraising is full of myths, borrowed tactics, and comfortable assumptions. This is where we challenge them.
