Foundation and trust administration FAQs
What is the role of a trust administrator?
A trust administrator plays a crucial role in managing a financial account on behalf of yourself or someone else (the beneficiary). Trust administrators monitor funds, communicate with all parties involved in the trust, and ensure compliance with the trust’s rules as well as legal financial regulations and legislation.
What is the difference between a trust and a foundation?
A trust is a lawful agreement where a trustee is responsible for managing assets on behalf of the beneficiary. The trustee is the owner of the assets and must adhere to specific regulations while managing them for the beneficiary’s benefit.
A foundation, however, is a legal entity that owns and manages its assets independently. Foundations are typically created for specific objectives, such as philanthropy or supporting a particular cause.
What is the difference between a private foundation and a public charity?
A private foundation is a non-profit charity set up by a single benefactor, which could be an individual or a business. The foundation’s funding comes from a single source, and its grants typically go to other charitable organisations. Whereas, a public charity relies on public donations and publicly raised funds to support its services.
