Why choose
Cairney & Company?
We have worked with donors across the globe - from Canada to Hong Kong - and have advised over 34 family funds.
Using our cross-sector knowledge and global networks, we can help you identify and connect directly with the causes that are closest to your heart, while ensuring your gift makes the greatest impact.
In our experience, philanthropy is most fulfilling when donors connect their giving to a purpose. We apply our strategic thinking and empathy to help donors and their families to articulate their philanthropic purpose and align their giving accordingly, allowing our clients to focus their giving where it matters most to them.
What can you expect from us?
We will take away the feeling of being overwhelmed by choice and carve a clear path towards receiving greater engagement, impact and enjoyment from your giving.
We will work with you to create philanthropic strategies that are aligned to your personal and family’s values, and a plan that allows your giving to have the greatest possible impact.
Discretion and confidentiality are important factors when working with philanthropists and their families. However, we have been given permission to share the words of a client, who explains how she was supported by Karen over the course of her giving journey:
"I worked with Karen over an 18-month period to shape and refine the areas I was interested in giving to. Karen listened to what was of interest to me and where I wished to achieve the greatest impact. With Karen’s knowledge of the charitable sector, locally and internationally, and her gentle direction, support and guidance my thinking evolved over the time we spent together. With Karen’s insight and donor-centred approach I now not only give to charities that I am personally passionate about but I and my family can see the direct impact that our gifts have made."
