Our Donor Advised Funds provide you with a simple, flexible and tax-efficient way to manage your long-term charitable giving.
Donor Advised Funds
We offer services to individuals and organisations wanting to engage in long-term charitable giving.
We believe that charitable giving should be a life enhancing experience. We recognise that donors want to spend their time engaging with the causes they love, rather than dealing with the administration of charitable giving.
Our dedicated Donor Advised Funds provide a single account for all your charitable giving. Accounts can be opened with a starting gift of £250,000.
We deal with all the governance, administration and reporting requirements, leaving you to focus on what donations to make.
We provide a personal service tailored to you.
How our Donor Advised Fund works

- You transfer in money or shares.
- We work with you to ensure your giving is done tax effectively, including making gift-aid claims.

- You tell us what donations you would like to make (or we can administer a grant programme for you).
