Private Ancillary Funds

Many people now use a private ancillary fund (PAF) to help them and their families manage their giving very effectively.

A private ancillary fund is a special type of fund that is specifically designed to encourage private charitable giving. It provides private entities, including business and families, with a flexible way to set up trusts for philanthropic purposes.

With a private ancillary fund you can structure your giving and be more strategic and effective in how, where and what you give.

Family trusts and foundations are forms of ancillary funds.

For more information about private or public ancillary funds, speak to your financial advisor or contact the Australian Taxation Office.
