Wealth Matters Charitable Foundation
With philanthropy being a key component of our ethos, it only made sense to launch the Wealth Matter Charitable Foundation – a donor-advised fund that has been set up to primarily support three core charities each year.
The charities we’re currently supporting are Oracle Cancer Trust, YoungMinds and Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal
Charities we’re currently supporting
-
Raising awareness about head and neck cancer.
Tackling inequalities so all patients get access to latest treatment.
Funding research to discover new treatments. -
The UK’s leading charity fighting for young people’s mental health.
Their mission is to make sure all young people can get the support they need, when they need it, no matter what. -
Helps provide food, water, shelter, healthcare & protection.
DEC charities are in Ukraine and neighbouring countries meeting the needs of all refugees and displaced people.
Giving back through our donor advised fund
With regular contributions being made by us to our DAF on a monthly basis – as well as ad-hoc lump sum payments – we can continue to give back to the community and charities close to our hearts through targeted donations as well as quarterly grants to additional worthy causes.
What we pledge to do
• Make regular contributions to the foundation, to support the growth of our partners’ charitable endeavours
• Establish a Governance Committee to oversee the nomination process for distributions and to determine grants to be disbursed
• The Committee to be comprised of colleagues and clients
• To communicate with donors as to actions undertaken so they see the benefits of donations
How to donate
The Wealth Matters Charitable Foundation is open to all donations – big and small – so anyone can contribute without the requirement to set up their own DAF
You can contribute personal assets including cash and shares. Gift Aid can be claimed by the DAF on your behalf to increase the value of your contribution, whilst you can also benefit from additional tax savings for higher-rate and additional rate taxpayers as a result of your donation.
Adding value to your donations
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) set up through our team benefit from the continued financial advice from your Financial Adviser, with investment options available including our WRAPS™ and WRAPS Halo™ range of portfolios.
We will also help you decide how much to contribute, invest and donate – and when – as well as provide guidance on suitable charities to help you achieve the most impact from your generosity and philanthropy.
