Private family foundations

For families seeking maximum control and a distinct public identity. Includes a bespoke board of directors to direct grants, manage assets and create a multi-generational mission.

Donor-advised funds

DAF’s offer a streamlined, cost-effective alternative to a foundation. Families can utilise a DAF to receive immediate tax deductions while recommending grants to charities. Includes a layer of privacy and removes administrative burdens.

Values-aligned and impact funds

Curated access to funds that integrate ESG objectives alongside financial performance. Families are able to deploy capital into scalable initiatives.

Through coordinated initiatives, we support families in designing programmes that reflect their values while achieving durable social impact.

“A member family cofounded a multi‑year scholarship and mentorship programme for first‑generation university students in Southeast Europe, combining grant funding with internship pathways in family-owned businesses.”

We ensure each contribution remains authentic to the family’s heritage and future vision.

“One family established an endowed fund to support contemporary arts and heritage preservation in a historical city, while participating in a wider cultural programme supported by other member families.”
