Do more with your giving
At CFS, the simple act of giving goes a long way. We believe in philanthropy that extends the reach of traditional charity. Here, donors have every opportunity to make their mark on the bigger picture.
Transforming giving into positive impact is at the heart of what we do. We champion philanthropy based on community needs, because we believe in the power of informed giving.
As we continue to seek ways to make a difference with our donors and communities, one thing remains constant: our commitment to the process – from giving to impact.
What we do
Match
donors’ interests with causes that are close to their hearts and offer ways for them to make a greater impact.
Collaborate
with charitable organisations to identify meaningful programmes that impact diverse communities.
Manage
funds and grants with a high level of accountability, so donors can be assured their gift creates lasting benefit for the community.
Get in touch with CFS today and let us help you do more with your giving.
