Case Studies

Read below examples of how GivingWorks can help you setting up of a micro-trust:

Create a Charitable Foundation for your company

Smith & Company wants to give money to an orphanage in Uganda. It could just transfer the money and that would be the end of it. However, it could set up the Smith Company Foundation using a GivingWorks micro-trust. As a registered charity any donation it makes to the foundation would be entirely tax deductible. By doing this, Smith & Company will have their own foundation into which they can put money as often as they like and use it to give to other charitable causes around the world. The company may also wish to involve employees in raising funds and determining which causes the foundation wishes to support.

Support the causes that personally matter to you, your family and friends

Peter and Sarah Jones want to support local youth groups in Yorkshire with sports equipment and outings to national sporting events in memory of their son Joshua. They would be able to establish the
Joshua Jones Sports Foundation and endow it with a sum of money which is then increased by 28% through the addition of Gift Aid. Their family and friends may also want to donate money to this cause and they can all send donations to the foundation and receive Gift Aid. By establishing a micro-trust the Jones family has been able to multiply their giving.
