PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS

We work with solicitors, accountants, wealth managers and financial advisors to help their clients make the most of their giving. They are so often the link between their client’s ambitions to make a difference in their local community, and the reality of how this can be achieved.

We have over 30 years’ experience as philanthropy advisors. Establishing charitable giving through BCF means you can refer the charitable giving to a specialist without recommending specific causes or charities to clients.

PLEASE remember that as a registered charity any gifts to us are eligible for all available tax benefits:

Gift Aid and associated Higher Rate Tax Relief – this both enhances the gift to the charity and saves the client additional tax.

Inheritance Tax mitigation – 10% of estate donated reduces IHT from 40% to 36%

Offsetting capital gains liabilities.
