Creating an enduring legacy

The Centre for Philanthropy is Guardian Trust’s flagship service providing private philanthropists with strategic advice for setting up and developing effective giving programmes. We also work with NGO (Non Governmental Organisation) organisations to develop strategies for sustainable funding streams.

Guardian Trust’s expertise in the charitable sector has been built over 126 years. We currently act as trustee or executor for more than 450 charitable trusts that distribute approximately $26 million annually. In the last three years alone, this funding has supported over 530 charities around the country.

It is our ability as trustees to remain true to our clients’ intentions over the long-term that is of vital importance to the charitable sector, assuring client’s that their funding will continue to make a difference beyond their own lifetimes.
