Guernsey’s “Effective Philanthropy” report explores the evolution of philanthropic giving and the growing desire among high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) to align wealth with purpose. Drawing on global trends and insights, the report highlights a shift from passive donations to active involvement, where philanthropists seek transparency, governance, and measurable impact from the causes they support.
Guernsey offers a robust ecosystem of professional services and flexible structures tailored to modern philanthropic needs. These include the Guernsey Foundation, Charitable Trust, Purpose Trust, Limited by Guarantee (LBG) Company, Private Investment Fund (PIF) regime, and Charitable Association. Each vehicle provides varying degrees of control, transparency, and regulatory oversight, enabling donors to structure their giving in ways that reflect their values and long-term goals.
The report also features case studies demonstrating how these structures are used to fund medical research, support community initiatives, and facilitate sustainable investment. With its reputation for good governance and innovation, Guernsey is well-positioned to support philanthropists seeking to make a meaningful difference—whether through traditional charitable giving or impact-focused investment strategies.
