FOR ADVISORS

We've developed formal and informal partnerships with a range of advisors including wealth managers, solicitors, accountancy firms and Will writers. Our philanthropic expertise and tailored giving solutions can provide a unique offer to your clients and help you deepen existing relationships.

  • Why offer charitable planning?
    Advisors who offer a full charitable planning service differentiate their business from their competitors. But more important than that, it can deepen and strengthen existing relationships and meet an increasing demand for charitable planning advice.
  • How can we work with you?

    If your clients are starting to think about charitable giving, they may be thinking of asking you the following questions:

    • I want to set up a foundation to support a specific cause, what are the next steps?
    • I want to start giving overseas but want to ensure my donations go to verified international charities, how do I do this?
    • What is the most tax effective way I can give to charity so I can make the most of my charitable giving?
    • I would like to leave multiple charitable legacies in my Will, how do I avoid all the administration that goes with it?

    By partnering with us, we can answer the above questions and many more on your behalf.

     

  • I'm interested, what are the next steps?
    Contact our Private Client team and we would be delighted to start a conversation with you, whether you are looking for informal advice on a client's charitable giving or you're exploring the possibility of setting up a more formal partnership that works for you and your organisation. Our team can help you achieve your clients' philanthropy ambitions now and in the future. Call us on 03000 123 028 (lines are open Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm excluding bank holidays) or email us.
