Meet the Private Client Team

Our expert team is on hand to help with any questions you have about your philanthropy.

Together, we give more


Over the last 100 years, we have led the way in developing innovative approaches to giving, helping generous donors distribute £1 billion to charities around the globe annually. 

Through our strategic advice, insight-led approach, and connections to over 160,000 charities, we can help you choose how and when you give. So, you know you're making a tangible difference to the causes you care about. 

Ways to give through CAF

Charity Account

Donate regularly into a Charity Account. We can add UK Gift Aid on all eligible amounts, then hold your money until you’re ready to make onward donation requests.

Charitable Trust

Manage long-term giving through our donor advised fund (DAF). You can use this fund to make grants at any time, and you also have the option to invest.

Give through your employer's payroll

Give directly from your pay – and reduce your income tax bill. You can donate directly to UK charities or add funds to a Charity Account or Charitable Trust until you’re ready to make onward donation requests.

Make a large, one-off gift

Choose to give a large sum once, or to give occasionally, with no long-term commitments. You can also give complex, non-cash assets, and to charities overseas.

Give as a dual US/UK taxpayer

Claim eligible US and UK tax relief on your giving with our dedicated American Donor Fund. We can also add on the 25% Gift Aid for all appropriate donations in the UK.

Leave a gift in your will

Simplify giving through your will by naming us as your sole beneficiary. We’ll help your money go to your chosen charities.

Not sure what you need?

Talk to us about your giving goals and we’ll discuss how you can achieve them.
