ABOUT FIRSTCLASS

Trusted by more than 100 charities

FirstClass was launched nearly three decades ago, after a group of charities identified the need to build a software solution that could enable them to manage their bequest processes and attract Gifts in Wills, too.


Since then, the FirstClass team has worked closely with charities to continuously evolve and develop the software to enhance user experience and bequest management best practices.

“With FirstClass, charities can gain access to insights and data that simply isn’t available to those who don’t use the system. I can say with 100 per cent certainty that those who do perform much better. There is nothing like it on the market. Nothing else comes close.’’


Paul Browne, Head of Legacy, Administration, Legacy Link

Emma Colborne, Head of Legacy Administration at Blue Cross

FirstClass has the ability to record every aspect of each legacy case as well as being able to record any relevant notes. The team are excellent and always at hand to sort any queries.’’
