A partner for Companies

Invest in Society with a Tailored Charitable Programme and DAF

your trusted partner

Corporate giving is more than just a gesture; it’s a way to show the public, stakeholders, and employees that your company genuinely cares about its societal impact.

By embracing corporate giving, you can strengthen relationships with suppliers, customers, and staff, building a stronger foundation for success. As the expectations of rising generations align with the idea that corporate performance should go hand in hand with social investment, we can help you navigate this journey.

Our company donor-advised fund and advisory services offer tailored charitable programs designed specifically for your company, while also streamlining the administrative aspects of global tax-effective giving.

International Giving

Chapel & York offers extensive international expertise and direct connections to non-profit organisations abroad. We serve as a trusted partner to help donors make strategic, impactful gifts worldwide. With us, you can streamline cross-border giving, minimising risks, reputation exposure, and administrative costs. Our compliance process ensures simplicity and safety, backed by thorough global due diligence. Benefit from potential tax advantages by giving to foreign beneficiaries through our donor advised funds. Trust our regulatory expertise to ensure compliance with beneficiary country regulations.

Joining A Chapel & York DAF

After having an informative advisory call with one of our experienced consultants, you can easily submit your application online. Our team at Chapel & York will carefully review the documentation and conduct the due diligence to ensure your organisation meets the requirements to become a member.

Once we are satisfied your application meets the criteria, the application is passed to the Foundation Executive Director to share with the board your desire to set up a fund.

In the rare case that your application is declined, rest assured that we will refund the membership fee, but please note that the processing fee is non-refundable.

DAF process

What is Included

Our Chapel & York advisory team will collaborate closely with you to identify charities, conduct thorough due diligence, all in alignment with your corporate goals and values. We will design a dynamic charity programme and a compelling theory of change that outlines how your actions lead to desired outcomes. This process involves mapping out your long-term goals, the necessary intermediate outcomes, and the activities and inputs that bring about those outcomes. Additionally, we consider the assumptions and risks that underlie your logic. By utilizing the theory of change, we can help you clarify your vision, strategy, and indicators of success, making it easier for you to communicate your corporate giving mission to others.

With our annual membership fee, you gain access to a wide range of benefits, including grantmaking, recordkeeping, quarterly statements, and other essential operating services. Plus, you’ll receive a valuable 1-hour advisory session with one of our senior consultants to kickstart your journey. When funds are received, a retention percentage fee is applied, along with a small admin fee upon renewal. And to make our advisory services even more accessible, we offer a flexible sliding price scale.
