Discover Meaningful Ways to Give to Charities with Foundation SA

Setting up a fund for charitable giving and donations might be right for you if you…

• Want to start giving to charity but don’t have time to set up and run your own foundation
• Have recently come into money (from selling a business, an inheritance, or similar) and want to give some away, but need time to work out your plan
• Have money you’d like to give to charity, but prefer to do it at your own pace
• Want to involve your children, grandchildren, and wider family in your giving
• Would like help and advice on where and how to give your money
• Want to create something that keeps supporting causes you care about after you’re gone
• Want to set up a fund in memory of someone who has passed away
• Have a big life event coming up (like a wedding, retirement, or birthday) and want people to donate to a cause you care about instead of giving you gifts
• Want to work with others on finding better ways to make South Australia more inclusive and equitable over time
