Partnering with you to shape meaningful giving.
At Kent Community Foundation, we work in partnership with solicitors, accountants, wealth managers, financial advisers, and land agents to meet your clients’ philanthropic goals and optimise charitable giving across Kent and Medway.
Many clients want to give back to their local community but don’t always know where to start. We provide the ideal solution for those who wish to make a positive local impact without the complexity of managing a charitable trust.
Research shows that wealthy individuals and businesses increasingly seek expert philanthropy advice to give effectively. Offering this support helps advisers build trust, strengthen relationships, and increase client loyalty.
Every change in a client’s financial or family situation - from inheritance planning to selling a business - is an opportunity to start a philanthropy conversation.
We support you by:
Helping clients explore local giving opportunities
Advising on tax-efficient giving structures
Connecting clients with grassroots charities and community projects
There are many tax advantages to planned giving - and we can guide you and your clients through the process.
Simple, tax-efficient, and impactful giving
We collaborate with advisers to create structured giving plans that maximise financial impact and emotional fulfilment.
A fund with Kent Community Foundation provides your clients with all the benefits of establishing a charitable trust - but without the administrative burden, legal complexity, or reporting obligations.

Support local causes that reflect their values
… we design bespoke solutions that align with their wishes, values, and long-term vision.
