Giving through a charitable foundation is perpetual, flexible and offers participation and control over funds distributed. A giving strategy can develop and vary over time. Generally, your money is invested and grown over time with the interest earned distributed to charities important to you.

Why establish a charitable foundation?
Philanthropy is an integral part of wealth and tax planning. Charitable foundations can be tax effective ways of giving. Most people give to charity throughout their lifetime, however, typically it is only when an individual or organisation is contemplating a major gift, that help is sought to create a strategic way of doing this.
Other reasons to establish a charitable foundation
- You are already in the habit of supporting charity but want to make a large donation and structure the donation over multiple tax years.
- Tax effective giving
- Philanthropy can help resolve many social issues that are deeply important to you personally.
Where you may not wish to establish your own foundation, you can always make a tax-deductible donation to an existing charitable foundation that supports a cause you have an affinity with.
ANZ Trustees manages many charitable foundations that accept tax deductible donations.
