A few simple steps can make a huge difference to any incoming #trustees. Fiona McAuslan shares six practical, actionable ways to welcome new people to your #CharityBoard: https://lnkd.in/ePTVcyKz

A short quiz out from the Charity Commission to test your knowledge as a trustee. I've just done it and it only takes a few minutes but is a useful reminder of some of the governance issues that can come up. They've also got some new guides out which are worth sharing with trustees as part of your ongoing Governance Refresher Training (because, of course, you do this on a regular basis!). #GoodGovernanceMatters #CharityConsulting

For National Philanthropy Day, take a moment to reflect on your giving strategy. Is it well thought out and optimized for tax-efficiency?

For an optimized giving plan that actually makes an impact - both personal and for your community, reach out to Ross today!

A useful quiz for #trustees - if you don’t get 10/10 then a good prompt to check out the Charity Commission’s recently issued guidance

Teach them well, and they will lead with love. #KindnessMatters #LeadershipDevelopment #EmpathyInAction #PositiveParenting #EmotionalIntelligence #SocialImpact #TeachingKindness #ValuesBasedLeadership

It is important that charity trustees understand their responsibilities when it comes to decision-making, holding charity meetings and managing finances. This week as part of #CharityFinanceWeek, the Charity Commission for England and Wales has released some great guidance, handy 5-minute guides and a charity trustee quiz to help make it easier for trustees to stay on top of this.

Does giving to charity feel like a one-way street financially? 💸 The truth is, every dollar you donate can reduce your taxable income! By setting up a family foundation, you gain control over your contributions, allowing you to make a meaningful impact AND benefit financially. . . #TaxSavings #CharitableGiving #Philanthropy #LegacyBuilding #FinancialGoals
