CAF Global Trustees

Globe in handOur mission

To encourage and facilitate giving by high net worth indivduals, primarily in emerging economy countries. We do this by promoting sustainable giving, and by providing advice and guidance to donors about their strategic philanthropy. We also provide a corporate trustee service that allows private donors to create endowed private and family charitable foundations in the UK to benefit charities in their home countries and worldwide.

Why have we created this service?

If you have substantial wealth and are a citizen of a country which does not have a legal or tax environment which supports giving, you will be unable to make tax-efficient donations to charities locally or internationally.

With its stable political climate, generous tax regime and favourable reputation for governance, the UK provides you with an ideal environment to establish your own charitable foundation.

CAF GT provides Corporate Trusteeship for private and family charitable foundations established in the UK by overseas donors.

What are the benefits?

You:

  • can make tax-efficient donations to charities (as defined in English law) anywhere in the world
  • benefit from one of the world’s most generous tax regimes for charitable foundations
  • become part of a diverse and exciting international philanthropic community.

We:

  • take care of the establishment and legal documentation for your foundation
  • provide cost-effective administrative, accounting and reporting services
  • act as your experienced charity trustee
  • ensure your charitable support complies with all legal requirements
  • report on the way your charitable funds are managed and spent.
