What kind of philanthropist are you? Do you want to give money, or do you want to also commit time and use your skills to achieve your philanthropic ambitions?
The Five Stages of Giving
To help you on your philanthropic journey we have identified a five stage framework on the road to better giving. Clink on each stage of the framework to read advice and case studies from other philanthropists who have addressed the issues you might now face. Of course, philanthropy is by no means a linear journey and you can revisit stages as you need.
1. Assessing impact
Understand what your money has achieved; whether your objectives are being met; and how your giving can improve.
2. Setting objectives
Establish clear personal, charitable or corporate objectives to clarify what you want to achieve with your giving
3. Developing a strategy
Outline how you will achieve your goals: where to focus your giving; what type of support you can offer; and the best mechanism for you.
4. Giving tax effectively
Maximise your resources and your impact by taking advantage of the different methods of tax-efficient giving.
5. Selecting charities
Find and choose effective charities based on your interests and objectives.
