Why Coutts

Empowering your philanthropy

At Coutts, philanthropy is more than giving — it’s about creating enduring impact. Our bespoke guidance helps you support the causes you care about and create meaningful change.

Philanthropy in our DNA

Charitable giving has been integral to Coutts for over three centuries. Angela Burdett-Coutts was one of the most renowned and pioneering philanthropists of all time. This rich heritage underpins our passion for helping you create your own philanthropic legacy.

Support for every step

Whether you're establishing a foundation, engaging directly with charitable organisations or making regular contributions, our experts are here to guide you. We work alongside you to ensure your giving is strategic, impactful and aligned with your values.

A proven approach to purposeful giving

Our time-tested process begins with understanding what drives your philanthropy. Together, we explore:

  • your values and passions — the causes that matter most to you
  • your learning journey — any knowledge or insight you wish to gain
  • your resources and reach — including time, expertise, networks and the influence they can have.

This thoughtful approach ensures your giving is not only generous, but transformative.

The Coutts Foundation

Our own philanthropic endeavours include supporting the independent Coutts Foundation, which continues Angela Burdett-Coutts’ legacy by supporting charities which tackle the causes and consequences of poverty.
