Spear’s Review

Prism the Gift Fund, a charity which administers the giving of individuals, groups and foundations making significant gifts to charities all over the world, is growing both its income and its contributions.

CEO and founder Anna Josse is clear that her organisation’s strength lies in its knowledge of the increased regulation in the charitable sector. Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are becoming more common in the market as donors realise how complex it can be to set up their own charity or grant-making foundations. 

‘Costs are high; trustees need to have good legal knowledge – and therefore more donors are using a DAF,’ Josse explains. ‘We’re not strategists; we’re expert administrators with experience of due diligence, compliance and governance.’

She tells Spear’s that in the financial year ending June 2023, Prism had donation income of over £115 million and distributed almost £70 million around the world.
