Charity aims to relieve the pain of a particular social problem, whereas philanthropy attempts to address the root cause of the problem.

Many of our clients have a deep rooted dedication to both charity and philanthropy. GFP Alliance has  assembled a team of experts around the world in the fields of charitable giving, legal and tax experts, trust companies which administer charitable trusts and charitable foundations, family council advisors, art advisors, appraiser and evaluators … to guide and advise our clients on impactful effective philanthropic strategies.

 A carefully honed charitable giving strategy may also have tax benefits for the donor both during life and posthumously.

Tax efficiency may leverage the benefit of the actual donation whether in cash or in kind and during life and or thereafter.

Philanthropy tends to be a family tradition which is passed down from one generation to the next and is often included in family office, family council and family governance meetings in perpetuity.
