Profile

Emma Beeston works as an independent philanthropy consultant, advising families, businesses and foundations on their giving for more than ten years. She helps clients work out what to give and how, often building a framework for donors who are new to structured giving, and stays involved afterwards to monitor impact and connect them with other specialists. Her clients typically give between £500,000 and £1.5 million a year and often already run family foundations or donor advised funds. Before going independent, she held grant-making roles at BBC Children in Need and the Lloyds Bank Foundation. She is a 21/64 Certified Advisor and co-authored Advising Philanthropists: Principles and Practice with Beth Breeze.
