Services
The Boost Initiative aims to unlock and enhance dormant and inactive charitable assets to meet the needs of local communities. Boost Initiative offers a number of solutions to help trustees enhance their giving through local community foundations. We can help:
- Set up a fund at your local community foundation. We can help wind up your trusts, and use the assets to deliver grants to local communities. If you wish you can maintain involvement in grant making, but without fulfilling the requirements and obligations that arise from being a trustee.
- “Add value” to a particular trust fund, matching it with other resources and enhancing the impact of the fund.
- Form a management agreement with your local community foundation so that they can deliver grants on your behalf. You remain as trustee and have control over the assets but take advantage of the foundations expertise, local knowledge and contacts - as well as a reduced administrative burden.
- Transfer trusteeship of your trust to your local community foundation. You might want to do this if you want the trust to remain distinct from the community foundation or it is too large to be dissolved.
