Why was the Together Charitable Foundation established?

Together Charitable Foundation (TCF) is the joint vision of Graeme Price, Executive Chair of Jarrovian Group, and Paul Palmer, Professor of Voluntary Sector Management at the Business School of City University of London. Paul is also the Director of the Centre for Charity Effectiveness and has pioneered financial education for charities for over thirty years. While working on a publication for the Centre for Policy Studies, Paul and Graeme identified a discrepancy in giving levels between net wealth bands as classified by the Office of National Statistics (ONS). The very wealthy (band 1) give a larger percentage than the mass affluent (bands 2 and 3). In exploring the reasons for the difference, they found barriers to giving included gaps in service provision, confusing processes and a lack of education among financial planners. This prompted the conception of TCF which has been established as an education and facilitation tool for the financial planners of mass affluent clients to assist them with the attainment of their philanthropic aims.
