Joe Crome

Spear’s Review

Joe Crome joined the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) in 2020. Here he serves as head of business development and leads the American Donor Fund team, working with clients who are dual taxpayers in the US and UK to support them in their charitable giving. He is also in charge of growing and raising awareness of the fund.

As well as advising on effective giving, CAF assists in investing in charitable funds, offering guidance to aspiring philanthropists who wish to make a large donation but who are not yet sure how to allocate the funds, crystallising their intentions and identifying appropriate vehicles. 

Crome has been in the charity sector for his entire career. He tells Spear’s he has always been ‘passionate about the stewardship of funding’. Prior to joining CAF, he was director of philanthropy at a community foundation, and has also led two charities for young people. He has plenty of front-line experience of the issues impacting communities and how funding can be used most effectively.
