For the second year in a row, the Master Charitable Trust has been judged Best UK Donor Advised Fund’ at the PAM (Private Asset Managers) Awards.

Established in 2011, the Master Charitable Trust was the first donor-advised fund launched by a UK bank. It allows philanthropists to pursue their charitable aims freed from the burden of governance and administration and has facilitated grants of more than £550 million to over 8000 causes worldwide.  Together with investments held to enable future grants, this represents a total of £1 billion raised for charity.

It is a pleasure to support the generosity of Master Charitable Trust donors, and a privilege to uphold the bank’s longstanding tradition of pioneering philanthropy. 

Many congratulations to Rennie Hoare and the Master Charitable Trust team on this well-deserved award.
