Helping you better support the causes you care about
When you become an APS client, you gain access to our wealth of philanthropic experience, advice, knowledge and networks. From first gifts to strategic funding rounds, we have you covered. The Giving Services support team at APS can offer you:
Year-round support for all your questions – big and small – about giving
Templates and tools for each step of your journey – from helping you to define your giving goals, to undertaking charity due diligence
Suggestions for organisations working in your specific areas of interest

"We LOVED every minute of our giving services workshop last week with the Giving Services team, so well thought through using your deep experiences in the charity space. This is exactly what Adam and I needed to set ourselves up for more deliberate, urgent, authentic giving. We'll be doing an APS MAD workshop with our younger family members at the end of the year, 100%!"
