Pre-Event Survey — Exploring Opportunities in... Philanthropy

Before the evening, take two minutes to tell us where you are on your own philanthropy journey. Your answers will shape the conversation on the night.

Your name

Where do you sit with philanthropy right now?

Already giving in a structured way

Giving already, but informally and ad hoc

Thinking seriously about it, but haven't started

Curious and early — here to learn what's possible

I work in the sector — charity, foundation or advisory

Which areas are you most curious about?

Finding your personal philanthropic focus — the causes that actually matter to you

Involving family — partners, children and the next generation

Structures and vehicles — foundations, donor-advised funds, trusts

Tax-efficient giving — Gift Aid, shares, and getting the mechanics right

Giving around an exit or liquidity event

Embedding philanthropy into business ownership — the "PhilCo" model

Knowing your giving works — impact, measurement and reporting

Choosing and backing the right charities — due diligence and trust

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Other

Do you think you'll do more good by giving capital away, or by deploying it through business and investment?

More good by giving it away

More good through business and investment

Genuinely torn — I see both

What would make this evening most valuable for you?

Understanding how to actually get started

Getting a read on the structures and options available

Meeting others wrestling with the same questions

Hearing candid, real stories from people who give

Leaving with a specific next step or introduction

No particular agenda — happy to go with the flow
