What we do	We primarily work with individual donors and corporate donors to help them create charitable foundation funds that reflect their personal values and interests. We do this by providing them with expert philanthropy advice and an independent insight into the social issues and causes they care about. We also provide escorted ‘Secret Millionaire' charity visits for our Fund Holders. We typically work on a one to one basis with donors so that they can personalise their Foundation Fund, and create informed grant making programmes that will ensure their charitable aims will be realised. Setting up a Foundation Fund is acknowledged by the Charity Commission to be a low cost - high impact alternative to setting up a registered charity. It also provides a very tax efficient way for donors to make meaningful donations, whilst our staff team deals with the day to day financial management and grants administration on their behalf. Our role is one of ‘Trusted Advisor' on all matters relating to charitable giving, strategic grant programming and philanthropy in general. Our Fund Account Managers ensure that once a Foundation Fund has been set up; it is aligned to the donor's personal values, business interests, charitable aims, and provides grant making that delivers the required charitable objectives, and addresses relevant tax or estate planning needs. We also offer Private Client advice on a consultancy to High Net Worth Individuals, Wealth Managers, solicitors, accountants and other professional advisers. In addition to working with major donors and their advisers, we also work at strategic level with a great number of charities and voluntary sector organisations, the wider business community, other charitable trusts, Local Authorities and Statutory agencies.
