FirstClass, the UK's leading legacy management software provider, has won the Outstanding Partner to the Sector Award at the Smee & Ford Legacy Giving Awards 2024.
Out of a pool of 108 finalists, FirstClass emerged as one of the 20 national award winners and was presented with the accolade at a ceremony hosted by comedian Lucy Porter, which welcomed 300 guests and took place at the Hilton Bankside on 18 April.
The judging panel, which included 42 prominent figures from the legacy community, assessed FirstClass on its ambition, excellence and outcome and decided that the legacy management expert, who has been serving the legacy sector for almost three decades, was a worthy winner.
FirstClass's bequest management platform is an industry 'gold standard' for organisations and teams managing bequests. The platform is used not only by charities but also by high-profile benchmarking organisations and industry authorities such as Legacy Foresight and Legacy Link.
As of 2024, FirstClass has 500 users, and together, these users manage a combined bequest revenue of £1.4bn.
On receiving the prize, Rich Mullens, Product Director for FirstClass, said:
"We're incredibly proud that our product and the hard work of those who continually develop it has been recognised at a national level.
FirstClass has been helping charities manage and maximise their bequest revenue for nearly 30 years, which is a huge achievement in itself. However, this award goes to the team, which, through its tireless work and a continued commitment to providing charities with what they need to manage, track and monitor legacy revenue, has set the benchmark when it comes to bequest management software."
Polly Avgherinos, Managing Director at Smee & Ford, adds:
"The Smee & Ford Legacy Giving Awards are dedicated to celebrating the incredible work of legacy professionals, giving individuals and teams an opportunity to showcase their work and gain recognition.
"It's been wonderful to see the positive response for these awards from the sector with a significant increase in participation producing more entries, more judges, more attendees and more finalists this year!"
