Charity Fundholding Without Starting a Charity

Starting a registered charity can be a complex, time-consuming, and costly process. For many community groups, grassroots projects, or emerging initiatives, the administrative burden of incorporation, compliance, and bank account setup can take valuable time and energy away from your mission.

Gift Collective, operated by The Gift Trust, provides a simple solution. It allows charitable groups to raise, manage, and distribute funds transparently without creating a standalone charity. By leveraging a registered charitable trust, your group can focus entirely on achieving your goals while we handle the legal, administrative, and reporting requirements.

Transparent Accounting and Reporting

Donations and fund management are handled through our registered charitable trust, ensuring clarity and compliance.

Reduce Administrative Overhead

We take care of compliance, auditing, and record-keeping.

Focus on Your Mission
