Celebrating 20 years of charitable giving in the Crown Dependencies through the Canaccord Genuity Wealth Charitable Trust
07 March 2024
Douglas 7th March 2024: This year, Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management (Canaccord) is celebrating 20 years of charitable giving in the Crown Dependencies through the Canaccord Genuity Wealth Charitable Trust (the Charitable Trust). The Charitable Trust has been funded by clients donating odd lot shares and staff donations to raise more than £460,000 for 200 charities across Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey since it was established in 2004.
Plans are underway to mark the twentieth birthday in each island with events throughout 2024. The year-long celebration aims to raise awareness of how the Charitable Trust is reinvigorating the way it fundraises to include employee events that will be matched by Canaccord and individuals will also be encouraged to volunteer to help support charity work in each island.
The Charitable Trust Chair Eilish Brenock says “We plan to build awareness about our charitable work, reinforcing existing relationships and creating new partnerships with local charities and community groups who may benefit from our help. We will continue to encourage both our staff and clients to support our communities through their donations and voluntary contributions.”
Head of Wealth Management in Isle of Man, Tom Richards said “This milestone reinforces Canaccord’s commitment to supporting clients and employees to make a tangible difference to the communities they live and work in. We are very proud of how much valuable support the Charitable Trust has been able to give over the years and are looking forward to making the most of our anniversary year together.”
The Charitable Trust is managed by current and former staff but operates independently of the Canaccord business and previous recipients of funds include the Cystic Fibrosis Trust in the Isle of Man.
