According to new figures from Charities’ Aid Foundation (CAF), up to £1 billion 
of the £7.3 billion given to charity each year, is given by the UK’s wealthiest 
donors.
However, CAF believes thet their contribution is greater than this headline
figure and that many wealthy individuals and their families tend to manage their
giving over the long term through the establishment of Trusts and foundations. Funds
invested in this way account for a significantly larger proportion of total donations
than the £1 billion spent each year.

The figures are due to be released at Innovation in Planned Giving, the UK’s first
conference designed exclusively to broaden awareness of the subject and share latest
thinking among donors and their private client advisers.

 

 

Hosted by CAF, the conference will also see the official launch of Family Philanthropy
as a specialist division of CAF. Family Philanthropy combines all relevant services
required for planned giving, including trust and foundation administration, investment
management, grantmaking and research. Innovation in Planned Giving will provide 
an annual forum for all those engaged in philanthropy, from individual donors themselves,
to those who advise them including wealth management advisers, private client lawyers
and accountants.

 

 

There will be guidance on cross-border giving, presentations on some of the latest
developments in venture philanthropy, and an examination of the tools for donors
and advisers of charitable trusts and foundations.

 

 

The forum has attracted donors and advisers from across the UK and strong international
interest including a number of wealthy Russians. The conference is a one-day event
with registration from 8.30am.

 

 

Tickets, priced £150 plus VAT are available online or by calling CAF Events Tel:
