Philanthropic Advisory & Private Foundations

Charitable giving strategy, foundation management, and legacy services.

At Privy Consul, we understand that philanthropy is a deeply personal journey. Our Philanthropic Advisory services are designed to align your philanthropic goals with your financial objectives, ensuring that your contributions make a meaningful impact in the communities and causes you care about.

We begin by collaborating with you to develop a comprehensive charitable giving strategy tailored to your values and priorities. Our experienced advisors will help you identify the causes that matter most to you — whether they focus on education, health, the environment, or the arts. We offer insights into various giving vehicles, including direct donations, appreciated assets, and planned giving options, all while maximising the tax benefits associated with your generosity.

Strategy

Charitable Giving Strategies

Every giving strategy begins with a question of values, not vehicles. We identify what matters most — education, health, environment, arts, faith — then design the structure around that conviction, ensuring fiscal efficiency serves the mission rather than defining it.

Foundations

Establishing & Managing Foundations

For those looking to make a lasting impact, establishing a private foundation can be a powerful way to direct philanthropic efforts. We guide you from structuring in accordance with your vision through compliance, grant administration and reporting.

Legacy

Legacy Design

Helping affluent families protect their lifestyle, minimise tax burdens, and ensure that wealth is passed on with clarity, purpose, and impact. We balance family inheritance with philanthropic mission so that wealth serves multiple generations without degrading your current lifestyle.

Impact

Multi-Generational Impact

The most enduring philanthropic legacies are those designed from the outset to outlast their founders. We help families embed giving into their governance architecture — so that philanthropy is not an afterthought of wealth, but a pillar of it.

International Philanthropy

We are able to provide administrative support to international high net-worth families who wish to contribute to domestic and international charities.

Our international philanthropy service also assists these families to monitor the financial assistance given to the organisations they are assisting.

Your legacy should be more than a number. It should reflect your values, your story, and the responsibility you wish to pass on. Legacy Services are available exclusively to Privy Consul clients.

Questions? Answers.

Frequently asked — Fiduciary & Legacy.

Does Privy Consul provide family office services?

Yes. Privy Consul provides family office advisory and standing counsel — fiduciary oversight, trust and estate governance, succession planning, and intergenerational stewardship — whether you operate a single family office, use a multi-family office, or have no formal structure yet.

Can Privy Consul design succession for a family business or dynasty?

Yes. We design succession planning and dynastic continuity frameworks: family constitutions, next-generation preparation, ownership transition, and governance that survives the founder — preserving both wealth and values across generations.

Where does Privy Consul serve families?

Everywhere. Families are global; so are we. From London, Dubai, and Riyadh to Milan, Singapore, Lagos, and São Paulo, Privy Consul serves families in every country and every city, coordinating trustees, counsel, and institutions across jurisdictions.

Does Privy Consul advise on philanthropy and private foundations?

Yes. We structure philanthropic strategy, private foundations, and charitable giving frameworks so generosity compounds reputation and legacy rather than exposure.

How does a family begin working with Privy Consul?

By private introduction. A confidential conversation establishes the family’s circumstances and intentions before any mandate, structure, or fee is discussed.
