How can one maximise my giving with a DAF?

What do you do at Prism the Gift Fund (Prism)?

I am Founder and CEO of Prism the Gift Fund (Prism). Prism is a UK registered charity and Donor Advised Fund (DAF) administering the charitable giving of HNW individuals, groups, foundations and corporates, giving significantly to causes all over the world. DAFs are a time, cost, and tax effective alternative to setting up one’s own grant making foundation. Making donations around the world can be complex, time consuming and requires expertise in due diligence, governance and compliance. We also run Collective Funds

With Prism, donors can donate a variety of assets to their DAF which each have their own associated tax relief for qualifying individuals including cash, shares, property and land, cryptocurrency, and legacy giving. These assets are listed on our website with a calculator to help advisers and individuals calculate the tax relief which would be available to them depending on their tax circumstances. Donations of cash come with the best-known UK charitable tax relief: Gift Aid. For donations eligible for Gift Aid, Prism claims an additional 25% of the donation from HMRC, topping up the balance of the DAF. Higher rate taxpayers may be eligible to claim back a further 25%
