Help Your US Connected Clients Give Tax-Effectively

If your clients pay tax in the UK and the US, there is a tax-effective way for them to maximize their charitable impact. A donor-advised fund (DAF) with NPT Transatlantic allows your clients to claim eligible tax deductions on their giving in both jurisdictions. As advisors, here’s what you need to know: 

Dual qualified: NPT Transatlantic is a UK and US dual qualified charity. Contributions to NPT Transatlantic are recognised for tax purposes in both the UK and US simultaneously. 

Multi-currency: NPT Transatlantic can hold USD and/or GBP, allowing your clients to organise their giving in multiple currencies within one DAF account. 

Wide range of asset contributions: Your clients can donate cash, appreciated shares, property and complex assets such as alternative investments, restricted shares, privately held business interests (C-corporations, S-corporations, LLCs) and publicly traded partnerships. 

Grants worldwide: NPT Transatlantic conducts all necessary due diligence on charitable grantees. 

Convenience: NPT Transatlantic administers the DAF account seamlessly, processing your client’s contributions, Gift Aid and grant recommendations. A DAF can be established quickly, usually within 48 hours. 

Investments: Your clients can choose to invest the DAF assets from a wide range of investment options. For DAF accounts greater than £500,000 or $800,000, your clients may recommend a specific investment manager. 

Single gift option: NPT Transatlantic offers designated funds for donors who wish to make a single charitable gift to one specific charity. As a dual qualified charity, NPT Transatlantic will issue the donor a UK and US tax receipt.
