A holistic approach to giving

Discover the frameworks, networks and partnerships that can support your charitable ambitions.

Understanding

We can help you explore your core charitable giving options, explaining direct donations, a donor advised fund (DAF) or how to set up a new charity.

Network

Hearing from peers can be valuable as you develop your philanthropic thinking. That is why we hold exclusive events to connect you with our philanthropy experts, members of the Princely Family and other philanthropists.

Dialogue

We recommend and work with external partners to develop and implement your philanthropy strategy with you.

As a family we have consciously anchored the largest part of our philanthropic activities within LGT, thereby benefiting from LGT’s broad network and expertise. As a family, we have also been fortunate to partner with other philanthropists to help us along the way.
