Philanthropy

Philanthropic Structures

Generosity deserves the same rigour as any other form of wealth stewardship.

We help clients translate philanthropic intent into durable structure — establishing Liechtenstein charitable foundations that accept traditional and digital assets, govern cross-border grant-making with full legal transparency, and are built to operate across generations rather than news cycles. This includes navigating the regulatory and reporting requirements that allow philanthropic capital — in any form — to move across borders cleanly and reach its intended purpose.

FAQ

What is a Liechtenstein charitable foundation?

+

A Liechtenstein charitable foundation is a legally independent entity established to pursue specific public benefit purposes. It is governed by the Liechtenstein Persons and Companies Act (PGR) and can hold a wide range of assets. It is recognised internationally and can operate cross-border grant-making activities.

Can a foundation accept cryptocurrency donations?

+

Yes. We structure philanthropic vehicles that can accept and hold digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and tokenised instruments, alongside conventional assets. The foundation's statutes and governance documentation are designed to accommodate digital asset inflows and outflows in a legally compliant manner.

How is a charitable foundation different from a private foundation?

+

A charitable foundation is established for public benefit purposes and its assets are permanently dedicated to those purposes. A private foundation, by contrast, may serve private beneficiaries. The distinction affects tax treatment, governance requirements, and the permanence of the dedication of assets.
