Philanthropic Jersey Foundation

Dominique Burnett and her team established and administer a philanthropic Jersey Foundation for an UHNW Asian client. The concerning issue of children facing poverty is very close to the client‘s heart, therefore he wanted to establish a philanthropic foundation. The client already had a philanthropic structure in his place of birth, and so Fairway established a foundation in Jersey which essentially mirrors the intentions of the original structure, but on a significantly broader scale, encompassing initiatives for the rest of the world.

For the client, the two main factors that make a difference to the outcome of children growing up in poverty are healthcare and education, as access to these greatly improves their outcomes. The Jersey foundation is established to invest in cutting-edge medical healthcare technologies and into advancing education initiatives.

The structure established by Dominique, enables the founder, who serves as a co-council member alongside Fairway, to provide and contribute insights and strategic direction to the foundation‘s endeavours. Dominique provides governance and expertise in terms of managing the structure and the complex structure activity, to allow the client to achieve his aims of building up the assets and growing the structure. Notably, the foundation offers remarkable flexibility, allowing for the inclusion of various entities under its purview and the segregation of charitable endeavours. What Dominique has created with this client, is very flexible for his long-term vision as the foundation is intended to last indefinitely.

The nuance of this client is due to its scale and the fact that it is an evolving structure. Fairway provide full administrative services to the structures, dealing with all relevant filings and administration matters in Jersey, ensuring compliance with local legislation and regulatory requirements.
