According to a MORI study commissioned by the Giving Campaign and released today,
many financial advisers do not tell their clients about new tax-efficient methods
of giving to charity.
Many advisers admit they are simply not well-informed about
these opportunities. Indeed, 57% of the independent financial advisers (IFAs) and
nearly half the stockbrokers surveyed never or hardly ever give such advice. Three
quarters of IFAs and nearly two thirds of stockbrokers said that the biggest constraint
was a lack of information and training.

Amanda Delew, Director of the Giving Campaign, said: “I think the research shows
that we have a lot of work to do to ensure that financial advisers are equipped 
with the information and motivation to give advice on tax-efficient giving to their
clients. UK charity tax reliefs are amongst the most generous in the world and we
need to give everyone the chance to give money in the most effective way.”
