Corporate generosity, advised from the inside.
For more than a decade we've helped charities, universities and foundations make the most of philanthropic income. We bring that rare, recipient-side perspective to businesses that want their giving to mean more — for their communities, their people and their purpose.
We've sat on the other side of the table.
Most giving and CSR consultancies advise from the corporate vantage point alone. FJ Philanthropy is different. We have spent over a decade as trusted advisors to the charities, universities and foundations that receive corporate support.
So we know, in granular detail, what turns a well-meaning donation into lasting impact — and what causes good intentions to fall short. That insider knowledge sits at the heart of everything we do for our corporate clients.
We help you give the way the best-run charities wish every funder would.
A complete approach to giving well
Whether you're formalising your first giving strategy or sharpening a mature programme, our work is built around six pillars. Engage with all of them, or only the ones you need.
Giving Strategy & Alignment
Connect your giving to your purpose, values and commercial goals, so every contribution tells a coherent and credible story.
Charity Partner Assessment
Identify, vet and select charity partners with the rigour of an insider — due diligence that goes well beyond the glossy brochure.
Impact Measurement & Reporting
Move beyond activity to outcomes, with measurement and reporting your board, your people and your stakeholders can trust.
Beyond the Cheque
Design partnerships that go further than funding — skills, time, influence and in-kind support that multiply your impact.
Giving Efficiency & Structure
Get the mechanics right, from foundations and matched giving to tax-effective structures, so more of your money reaches the cause.
Giving Portfolio Management
Manage your giving as a considered portfolio — balancing reach, risk and return on impact across causes and over time.
Three ways to begin
From a focused diagnostic to a long-term advisory relationship — we meet you wherever you are on the journey.
Giving Health Check
A focused diagnostic of your current giving: where it's working, where it's leaking value, and where the quickest wins lie. A clear, candid assessment with practical recommendations.
Giving Strategy Programme
A structured engagement to build or rebuild your giving strategy from the ground up, across the pillars that matter most to you — strategy, framework and roadmap, delivered as an extension of your team.
Ongoing Advisory
A retained relationship for organisations that want a trusted philanthropy partner on call — for partner selection, impact reviews, board reporting and the judgement calls in between.
Built for the giving your sector demands
Some sectors carry giving obligations — and opportunities — all of their own. We pair our core framework with deep contextual understanding to meet them.
Energy & Renewables
For developers and operators managing community benefit funds and local commitments, we help turn obligation into genuine, well-governed community impact — and into trust that endures for the life of an asset and beyond.
Law Firms & Legal Services
Leading firms already do a great deal — through foundations, pro bono, employee volunteering and partner-led giving. But activity tends to evolve organically and sit in separate corners of the firm. We bring it together under a single strategy, evidence its impact for ESG reporting and client tenders, and turn scattered generosity into genuine competitive advantage.
A combined century of philanthropy expertise
An award-winning specialist consultancy, advising charities, universities, foundations and family offices since 2013. We bring the judgement that only comes from decades inside the world of giving.
They knew exactly what our chosen charities needed — and how to make sure our giving actually delivered it. No one else in the room had that.
Let's make your giving matter more.
