BDO Ltd

The Private Client team at BDO works both in the UK and internationally, with over 50 Partners and Directors and over 300 full-time professionals.

We deliver a comprehensive set of services including asset structuring, succession planning, gifting and will planning, trust services, tax compliance, risk management, family business advisory and family office services.
We see the importance and impact of Philanthropy through advising our clients on a daily basis. COVID-19 has presented society with challenges none of us could have prepared for. No matter how or what you have given in the past now may be the time for us all to ‘rethink’ our strategy, and the level of our engagement and contributions. Everyone’s reasons for giving are personal, and we seek to advise clients on the benefits of giving that are unique to them and their family, and how to inspire future generations to get involved with family philanthropy.

Chapel & York

Founded in 1997, Chapel & York has always specialised in international fundraising and activities for organisations. We have worked with nearly 500 organisations over the years
Uniquely, in countries where having a local organisation through which donors can tax-effectively make gifts, we both set up and manage dedicated legal entities and have our own Chapel & York organisations. We can thus ensure the right answer for our clients’ needs.
Chapel & York has six C&Y charitable organisations around the world – the US, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland and The Netherlands – which facilitate tax-effective international giving plus provide a platform through which organisations can fundraise without needing to establish their own dedicated entities.
These Chapel & York Foundations provide training and advice about fundraising internationally for their local and regional stakeholders. They also provide benefits to American donors – the US and UK entities are linked as are the Hong Kong and US entities so that American taxpayers can have a UK or HK tax benefit plus a US tax-deduction.
Chapel & York also provides philanthropic advice and guidance to donors who want to establish a philanthropic giving programme
2020 sees a major milestone for Chapel & York in its work for clients with the creation of a dedicated bespoke International Fundraising Department to ensure clients’ international fundraising activities are as successful as possible.
Chapel & York has offices in Mayfair London, New York, New Orleans, Geneva, Amsterdam and Hong Kong, and staff worldwide.
