Empowering impactful charitable giving
The Charity Service is a trusted expert in charitable giving. Our services include Donor Advised Funds and philanthropy advice. We make giving easy, providing exceptional levels of personal service to all our donors.
We are an independent charity and operate on a not-for-profit basis. With our roots in the Manchester charity sector, we draw strength from the city’s cooperative spirit and diverse communities. We support philanthropic giving through our Donor Advised Funds and support local organisations our Greater Manchester Grants Programme.
Core values and a strong vision for philanthropy underpin our work. Respect for communities and diversity are central to our work. Done well, philanthropy really can make the world a better place.
