Many of our Impact100 SA community gathered recently at a “Structured Giving” presentation on 26 September, which was jointly hosted by Flinders University and St Vincent de Paul Society, with generous support from Geoff Day OAM and the Day Family Foundation, to talk about the opportunities and challenges that are being provided to us in the coming two decades with the intergenerational transition of wealth, especially in relation to structured giving.
“Structured giving” refers to larger-scale charitable giving using giving structures such as private and public ancillary funds (PAF and PuAF), sub-funds, and giving circles like Impact100 SA and testamentary trusts and bequests. The less impactful but still important alternative to structured giving is a single, lump-sum donation.
In addition, Pennie Loane from Australian Philanthropic Services shared advice with attendees on the role of family and public foundations, and Kay Burton from SA Philanthropy Network led a panel, which included fellow Impact100 SA member Kate Stock, to talk about their experiences with family foundations.
