Speak to an expert adviser
Donate money into a private ancillary fund (a type of charitable trust) to receive an immediate tax deduction, then use the money put aside to give to charity every year. You or your adviser invest the capital, and we handle everything else.

We’re a one-stop-shop for your PAF’s administration, accounting, compliance and governance
A giving fund (also known as a sub-fund) in our public ancillary fund, the APS Foundation, is a satisfying and convenient way to give money to charity over time. We pool donated funds in this communal giving structure, professionally invest them and take care of all the compliance responsibilities.
