The Need

Effective Global Giving:
There is a need to ensure that donors can find trustworthy and effective charities internationally, addressing transparency and accountability issues in global giving.

Tax-Efficient Donations:
Donors in certain countries require solutions to maximize their charitable impact while minimizing tax implications.

Maximizing Impact:
Smaller charities, particularly in developing countries, need to be supported to maximize the impact of their work through effective fundraising and project management.

The Opportunity

Secure and Transparent Giving:
Through the expert vetting of charities, donors should have enhanced trust and confidence in the donation process, leading to increased philanthropic activity.

Tax Benefits for Donors:
Providing tax benefits in certain countries helps to incentivize charitable giving, enhancing the overall resources available for international development efforts.

Efficient Cross-Border Grantmaking:
TrustBridge simplifies the process of cross-border donations, reducing costs and administrative burdens, and increasing efficiency in the transfer of funds to areas of need.

How We Engage

Online Giving Platform:
The GivingSpace platform offers a secure and user-friendly interface where donors can easily contribute to their chosen causes, track their giving history, and manage their donor-advised funds online.

Tax Deductions:
TrustBridge and International Generosity Foundation (IGF) work together to offer giving solutions for dual taxpayers who are required to pay taxes in both the United States and the United Kingdom due to their citizenship or residency status.

Tailored Philanthropy: TrustBridge engages donors through various fund structures (Foundation, Charity, Impact Investing) catering to individual preferences for grantmaking, cause support, or a blend of social impact and financial return.
