What is the best way to support charities?

How you support causes you care about depends completely on your own personal and financial circumstances. 

There are many ways to give to charity.  Some individuals and businesses prefer to donate on a one-off basis, while others choose to set up a donor advised fund (DAF) that they can contribute to over time.  Some donors might prefer to leave a legacy gift by naming a charity in their Will.

Giving back to your local community through one of our accredited community foundations will ensure that your funds are going directly to the causes that matter to you and your community. 

Community foundations work closely with professional advisers, financial investors, businesses, public bodies and individuals.  They the process of setting up your fund much simpler so that it aligns with your wishes while providing evidence-based advice and guidance around the issues facing communities in your area. 

Community foundations have long-lasting, trusting relationships with local networks of charities and community-led organisations that deliver vital services, and use their donor platforms to support meaningful initiatives, taking away the admin and hassle so you can enjoy learning about the impact of your fund.
