At the Bermuda Foundation, we make giving easier, smarter, and more impactful.

Whether you’re an individual, a family, a business, or a nonprofit organisation, we provide flexible, trusted, and expert support to help you achieve your philanthropic goals. We offer robust infrastructure, deep local knowledge, and a commitment to sustainability — enabling you to give meaningfully to Bermuda, now and for generations to come.

For Individuals and Families

Many of us want to give back to the communities where we’ve lived, worked, and raised families. You may wish to:

• • Honour a loved one through a memorial fund

  • Create a lasting legacy

  • Celebrate a milestone or special occasion

  • Make a charitable gift in lieu of having heirs

  • Support a cause you’ve long been committed to

  • Give strategically without having time to research causes yourself

We help donors turn their intentions into meaningful impact through well-informed, flexible options — whether via donor-advised funds, field-of-interest funds, or legacy gifts. Our team provides expert guidance and administrative support so that your giving is personal, effective, and enduring.

For Corporations

Corporate giving can be impactful — and efficient. We work with companies that want to:

• • Streamline and professionalise their charitable giving

  • Reduce administrative costs

  • Respond to diverse funding requests with equity and transparency

  • Build a strong public profile rooted in community engagement

  • Gain insight into Bermuda’s most pressing community needs

We offer tailored services through corporate advised funds and donor services at three levels:

1. Information access: for self-directed corporate giving
2. Fully managed grantmaking: where we manage the process on your behalf
3. Fee-based advisory services: supporting existing giving programmes without a Bermuda Foundation fund

All services leverage our shared systems and pooled infrastructure to reduce costs and enhance efficiency.

For Private and Family Foundations

If you already manage a private foundation, we can help you simplify and scale your impact. Partnering with us allows you to:

• • Leverage pooled investment strategies

  • Access on-the-ground insights into Bermuda’s nonprofit sector

  • Outsource administrative and compliance burdens

  • Transfer assets if operational management is no longer feasible

For Nonprofits and Charitable Organisations

We also serve Bermuda’s nonprofit community directly. As a nonprofit, you can:

• • Establish a professionally managed endowment fund

  • Increase your organisation’s visibility through our online giving platform

  • Offer donors an alternative way to support your mission

We promote sound stewardship and sustainability, giving nonprofits access to financial management tools that support long-term growth and resilience.

A Trusted Platform for Philanthropy

As Bermuda’s only community foundation, we provide:

• • An accredited and professionally governed structure

  • A secure and shared philanthropic platform

  • Expert investment and donor services

  • Transparent reporting and outcomes measurement

  • A growing endowment for long-term community benefit

Our aim is to build a community asset — for good, and forever. Whether your goals are personal, corporate, or institutional, we’re here to help you give with confidence and purpose.
