Supporting Philanthropic Projects with Tailored Approaches
Philanthropic projects are deeply personal and unique. This initiative works closely with clients to understand their needs and craft approaches that truly reflect their values and engagement goals. Whether it’s formalizing donations or structuring donor-advised funds and foundations, the focus is on creating sustainable, impactful philanthropic portfolios. The advice offered takes into account tax and estate planning, ensuring that generosity is both meaningful and smart.
Foundations: Creation, Governance, and Strategy
Swiss charitable foundations play a vital role locally and internationally, acting as independent forces that tackle societal issues head-on. The project supports every step of foundation creation—whether grant-making, operational matters, venture philanthropy, or family, corporate, or shareholder foundations. Governance advice is provided throughout the life of the association, especially during major changes. Plus, there’s strategic help to develop and anchor the vision of the association, turning it into a true agent of change.
Training and Collaboration with Advisors
Training is not one-size-fits-all here. Tailor-made sessions are designed and delivered to meet very specific needs, ensuring that knowledge is practical and immediately useful. Collaboration extends beyond clients to include advisors of wealthy families—banks, family offices, lawyers, notaries, and more. This partnership approach complements existing advisory activities, creating a comprehensive support system for philanthropic and governance challenges.
