HOW IT WORKS

   Our donor-advised fund makes it simple to give with purpose. We handle the structure and setup so you
can focus on what matters: growing your capital to support the causes you care about.

  

 


A simple, flexible way to give

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a ready-to-use philanthropic vehicle that lets individuals, families, or organisations create a personal foundation without the administrative burdens of setting one up from scratch. Through BNP Paribas Bridge Foundation, donors can recommend grants to charitable causes over time, with full flexibility and professional support.

Step-by-Step

1. Set Up our
Sub-Foundation

Each donor establishes a sub-foundation under BNP Paribas Bridge Foundation, defining their giving focus, naming preferences (example: Li Family Foundation, or Li Innovation Fund), and naming key personnel who may act on behalf of the donor.

2. Contribute and Grow

Donors contribute to their sub-foundation and can choose from a range of investment strategies managed by BNP Paribas to grow their capital for greater impact.

3. Recommend Grants

At any time, donors can recommend grants to registered charities aligned with their mission, guided by appropriate due diligence and strategic support.
Fit for use across personal, family and corporate giving while also being effective in focused thematic grants.

4. Long-term
vision

Sub-foundations can remain active during a donor’s lifetime or be converted into a legacy endowment, ensuring sustained impact. Governance and succession structures can be put in place with every set-up, so your philanthropic vision carries forward.
