The Beacon Collaborative

The Beacon Collaborative aims to grow philanthropy in the UK, encouraging more wealth holders to transfer more of their private assets for the public good. We work in close partnership with other organisations that encourage philanthropy and social investment. We aim to attract more in donations to charity and social investment every year. We do this by: - Raising public awareness around the capacities of philanthropy in the UK - Understanding more about who gives, and why, with a view to maximising the opportunities for major donors to give more - Working with advisors to ensure everyone receives encouragement and quality advice about how to build social investments and donate significant funds in their financial planning. We will build on the expertise of the professional services sector and improve the regulatory framework for philanthropy in the UK. - Encouraging existing philanthropists to influence their peer networks, so that giving becomes contagious. - Working to engage government and political groups, to create the right climate for philanthropy in the UK.
