CSR & Philanthropy in Geneva

Geneva is the other half of Swiss private banking, and the diplomatic capital of Europe. Its economy runs on private banking, commodities, watchmaking and international institutions, and the members we look after here are typically principals with banking relationships and often a residence nearby.

Giving structured so it does what you intended. We identify credible organisations, verify how money is actually used, structure the giving properly, and report back on what it did.

Practically, an international airport with one of Europe's busiest business aviation terminals, and the watch and commodity trades both run through here.

Most of what we arrange here runs between Geneva and India. That means one desk holding both ends, so nothing is lost between an adviser there and a counterparty here, and neither side is left waiting on the other's working hours.

Held locally

How this works in Geneva.

Requests from Geneva reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
Every recipient is checked before a rupee moves.
Where something cannot be arranged in Geneva on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.

Questions, answered once

CSR & Philanthropy in Geneva, without the theatre.

What causes are active in and around Geneva?

That depends on what is genuinely open at the time, and it moves. Your relationship manager in Geneva will tell you what is actually available rather than what sounds best.

Can a foundation be set up and run for me?

We identify credible organisations, verify how money is actually used, structure the giving properly, and report back on what it did. Every recipient is checked before a rupee moves.

What are the tax consequences of giving in Switzerland?

The position differs by jurisdiction and changes. We confirm what applies in Switzerland with qualified local advisers before anything proceeds, and set it out for you in writing.

Geneva, looked after.

A line, a call or a message is enough. Your concierge will ask what is necessary and take the rest from there.
