Giving
Simplify your giving
A Named Fund (also known as a donor-advised fund or sub-fund) is the easiest and most accessible way to structure your giving. Set up a Named Fund with us and we’ll take care of the administration and compliance, allowing you to focus on the granting.
Put a name on your giving
Named Funds can be named after an individual or group or may even have their own unique identity – it’s up to you.
Donate now
You can donate into your Named Fund at any time. To get your balance growing quickly, you can also ask others to contribute. All Named Funds are eligible to fundraise in accordance with our fundraising guidelines.
Give later
Funds can be distributed at any time to the charitable organisations of your choosing.
100% Responsible Investing
All Named Funds are professionally managed and invested in line with our commitment to 100% responsible investing. Income from investments is reinvested to grow the balance of your account.
