Charitable Giving

UBS Stifterservice

UBS wants to make giving easy with an innovative approach to donate and found your charitable causes.

Our global approach across the world sets up Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) or lean charitable structures via an umbrella foundation, to provide you with a smart and flexible way to donate to those charitable causes close to your heart.

Let's talk

Together, we can help to achieve your charitable goals

Are you asking yourself the following questions?

  • How can I set up a non-profit structure cost-effectively and with little effort?
  • What structure can I use to donate a percentage X of my assets to charitable causes?
  • Can I start philanthropy together with my family?
  • How can I achieve my charitable goals anonymously or on my behalf?
  • What options exist to set money aside now to implement philanthropy later in life or post-mortem?

How it works

Set up of the charitable structure

With us, you can establish your charitable foundation under the umbrella of our DAF and make use of existing structures. In Germany, we offer a professional, philanthropic solution called UBS Stifterservice, which enables you to set up quickly and without much effort. In doing so, we work closely with our non-profit partner Haus des Stiftens and profit from their extensive expertise in the charitable field.
