The entrepreneurial family
An entrepreneurial family from Hamburg wants to systematize their philanthropic engagement. Not as a hobby, but in a structured way, with a clear overview, a plan, and real impact. However, a traditional family foundation is out of the question: too expensive to set up, too inflexible for the very diverse interests of individual family members. Moreover, the family wishes to give completely anonymously.
1 central foundation
for the family office, individual foundations for each member
100% anonymous
every foundation and every transaction invisible upon request
Yield & Impact
on credit balances through the bcause Impact Portfolio
The Challenge
The family members have different interests – environment, education, democracy, international aid – and these interests evolve. A classical foundation with a fixed statutory purpose does not do justice to this. At the same time, there should be structure: a common overview, no double administration, no lack of transparency within the family.
And: Everything should remain discreet. No public profile, no visible transactions.
The Solution
The Family Office sets up a central Foundation via bcause, and an individual digital Foundation for each family member. Funds flow from the central Foundation into the individual Foundations, where each member freely decides whom to support.
Overview and flexibility in one: Central control, individual freedom of choice
bcause Impact Portfolio: As long as funds are in the account, they are invested in an impact-oriented manner. With returns, without risk to the family
Full anonymity: Each Foundation and each transaction can be set to private. No public profile, no visible operations
The Result
The family gives together and yet each according to their own values. The money works until it is needed. And no one outside the family knows about it.
This case has been anonymized at the family's request.
