A record \u00a313.9 billion was donated to charities across the UK in 2023, and while the number of donors has fallen since the pandemic, the size of donations has increased.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what exactly is philanthropy and how can you get involved? Philanthropy is the act of giving time, money or resources to help others, usually those in need or for the greater good, with the underlying principle being to make a positive difference. It can take many forms, including financial donations, volunteering and lending skills or expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many of our clients, becoming a philanthropist and donating to charity is a key ambition, yet many find it challenging to know where to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If philanthropy is something you\u2019re considering, these prompts can help guide you in structuring your approach as you embark on this incredible journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. What’s wrong in the world?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start by setting out what you believe are pressing issues and challenges the world is facing. Then ask yourself, \u201cIf I had the power, what would I do to fix it?\u201d Applying your values and beliefs to circumstances and events may help you focus your resources on areas that are most aligned with your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere you want to focus your philanthropic efforts is a key decision,\u201d says Kevin O\u2019Shea, director, Wealth Planning, RBC Private Wealth in the British Isles. \u201cIf you want to feel like you\u2019re making a difference, then it\u2019s probably better to focus on things that mean the most to you. If you\u2019re passionate about education for example, that could be your theme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, people\u2019s passions vary considerably. Some may concentrate on helping people within a specific geographic area, while others might dedicate themselves to a particular cause, such as finding a cure for a disease. \u201cThe very fact that you\u2019ve embarked on a philanthropic journey says you have a passion,\u201d O\u2019Shea says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Is there an existing charity you could work with?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some philanthropists want to create an organisation and run it themselves. That\u2019s certainly feasible for those with the resources to do so. However, sometimes it makes sense to use existing institutions that already have the infrastructure and expertise in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even those who create their own philanthropic organisations sometimes support causes outside the remit of their existing structures. Instead of establishing something new, it may be worth outsourcing the solution to an existing organisation or a non-government organisation (NGO) already engaged in such work and empower them financially to effect change. This can save time and energy and get the resources to where they\u2019re needed faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExisting philanthropic organisations have the infrastructure on the ground to get the projects running quickly,\u201d O\u2019Shea says. \u201cThe counterargument is that some of the funds may not go directly to your chosen cause, for example, admin costs or other work supported.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with a team of experienced philanthropy professionals can help you connect with other philanthropists and causes, helping you to find the right solutions to support your charitable giving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How about teaming up to have a greater impact?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you consider the impact of your philanthropic efforts, you might ask: what if I could join forces with like-minded individuals, organisations and governments to create lasting change? A new generation of ultra-high-net-worth individuals is doing just that,2<\/sup> leveraging their financial expertise and passion to address pressing global issues like climate change, poverty and social inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By partnering with others, you could increase your individual impact, while fostering a sense of community and collective responsibility. As you think about your own philanthropic journey, consider the power of collaborative philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. How will you measure success?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In business and in their personal life, most people want to be sure they\u2019re getting value for their money. The same is true in philanthropy \u2013 most people want to know their funds and efforts are channelled appropriately. And that means would-be donors will likely want to do some research before donating. \u201cIt\u2019s important you consider doing some preliminary work,\u201d says Fiona Waite, director, Relationship Management at RBC Private Wealth in the British Isles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach client is different. Some want to spend considerable time gathering data on how monies are spent and monitored,\u201d says Waite, \u201cwhile others may just want to financially support a reputable organisation.\u201d Fortunately, there\u2019s growing experience in helping determine how effective philanthropic organisations are in reaching their stated goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are many firms that do impact reporting on philanthropy,\u201d Waite says. \u201cThey see what the organisation is doing and come back with progress reports. RBC takes its duty to do the necessary due diligence on behalf of clients seriously, and we work closely with donors and charities directly, to ensure the information flow works for all parties,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Will your wealth have a lasting impact?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While some philanthropists prefer to give larger proportions of their wealth to charities during times of urgent need, such as responding to a pandemic, natural disaster or an immediate call for innovation, others opt to give smaller sums over a longer term. This approach ensures their resources continue to positively impact society after their passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are different ways to leave a philanthropic legacy,\u201d says Waite. \u201cOne method is to establish a foundation with a clear cause where income and\/or investment gains get distributed over a long period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other ways involve future generations deciding which charitable cause benefits from the family\u2019s philanthropy. \u201cA simple governance framework can ensure that family members remain involved and impassioned,\u201d says Waite. \u201cThis helps avoid a cause being supported in a lacklustre fashion just to fulfil the previous generation\u2019s wishes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, some decide to set up organisations that make microloans to entrepreneurs in developing countries. The loans help grow businesses, and the repaid loans, along with interest, help grow the philanthropic organisation\u2019s resources. Those increased resources can then get passed on to other enterprising business minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begin your giving journey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s evident there are many factors to consider when starting out on your philanthropic path. But it doesn\u2019t have to be overwhelming. Adding structure to your approach and engaging with professional advisers will help give you a considered outcome that aligns with your values and goals and puts your resources to the best use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
