Supporting your philanthropic endeavours
Modern philanthropy is a complex task. Donors want to make sure their hard-earned wealth is making a difference and driving real change by establishing the most efficient philanthropic structures possible.
Philanthropic services from Ocorian help you establish a streamlined and effective philanthropic strategy.
From occasional targeted distributions to bespoke and focused philanthropic missions, we have extensive experience across a range of causes and approaches to philanthropy.
We establish the right trust or foundation for your needs, administer it effectively and ensure all relevant regulations are adhered to.
We understand social investment and cross-border giving and know how to ensure you - as the benefactor - get the most from your gifts, including tax relief.
