Hedge fund manager, philanthropist and OCF donor
Named funds are created for various reasons: in memory of a loved one, to campaign for a cause close to your heart, as a way of demonstrating impactful CSR, or simply because you can and want to help. Whatever the reason, a named fund is often the most effective way of carrying out great charitable intentions.
Working under the foundation’s umbrella, fundholders gain access to our professional advice, local knowledge and the expertise of our small office team.
You decide how involved you are in decisions about how the fund is used, and the fund can be anonymous or named after yourself, a family member, a friend, a company or anything that is personal to you.
