Philanthropy uk intro pic
Philanthropy UK is the leading resource for free and impartial advice to aspiring philanthropists who want to give effectively. We develop and share current information and best practice on giving; provide accessible links to specialists; and aim to inspire more people to become philanthropic and so enjoy the extraordinary rewards this brings. We are a project of The Association of Charitable Foundations.
Among our publications are:
This is the essential handbook for 21st century giving. Published by Philanthropy UK with the continued support of private bank Coutts & Co A Guide to Giving is a valuable and up-to-date resource for philanthropists and their advisors that sets the benchmark for inspirational, practical and objective guidance.
Philanthropy UK's Why Rich People Give is the result of the first major research into the attitudes of wealthy people in the UK to money - how they create it, keep it and spend it. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the motivations of the rich to support the charitable sector - or not - by giving money, time and expertise. It covers attitudes to faith, family and community, early experiences of giving and motivations, incentives and rewards. It examines relationships with recipient charities, how people give and feelings about wealth and responsibility.
Giving Advice Website
Our sister site Giving Advice is created to support the growing Philanthropy Advice sector.
This website is designed to support private client advisors of all types – encompassing a wide range of individuals and firms, including private bankers, wealth managers, trust and estate lawyers, accountants, trust and family office managers, family and community foundations, financial planners, and family business consultants.
It is developed and managed by two of the UK's leading authorities on philanthropy and private client advisory: Philanthropy UK and the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).
The last ten years has seen a sea change in philanthropy in the UK. More wealthy people are giving, and more are seeking professional advice on how to give effectively. Even in these changing times, philanthropists remain committed to their causes, knowing that this is when charities especially need their support.
This website aims to help private client advisors more effectively support their clients’ philanthropic aims. Until now advisors have had to search many and varied sources for information on philanthropy. This new resource provides all the information you need in one place, and signposts you to more detailed information and other helpful resources.
