Prism the Gift Fund
Careers at Prism the Gift Fund
About us: Prism the Gift Fund (Prism) is a UK registered charity, that administers the giving of individuals, foundations and groups of donors making significant gifts to charities all over the world. Prism’s mission is to increase the flow of funds into the charity sector by creating efficiencies wherever it can. Prism had income of over £90 million and distributed over £50 million last year. Prism provides services to philanthropic, high net worth individuals and families, who open Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) as a time, cost and tax effective alternative to having a Foundation. DAFs are “Own Name Foundation” accounts within Prism. These act as a tax effective UK hub for their giving, without the ongoing set up costs associated with establishing a standalone charitable structure. Prism remove the administrative burden by ensuring that donors are claiming all the relevant UK tax reliefs and by alleviating the responsibility of correctly running a charity that abides by UK charity law and compliance regulations. Prism’s clients are able to gift shares and property, but most commonly contribute cash to their accounts, which comes with the best-known UK charitable tax relief: Gift Aid. Prism also operates an innovative philanthropy vehicle called the Collective Fund. A Collective Fund is aimed at individuals and groups who are raising funds for a specific issue/ cause area. Prism remove the obstacles involved with setting up a standalone charity. The service appeals to those who are new to the charity sector, have a new idea or simply don’t have the time to run their own charity in the UK. Prism also act as outsourced administrators to a number of grant-making Foundations who require support, but not necessarily full-time staff or their own offices. Prism’s ethos is swift, personable, flexible and efficient. Prism offers a high level of personal service whereby each client has a dedicated Relationship Manager. Prism offers a bespoke philanthropy services to help realise individual’s and group’s philanthropic vision.

📖 Opportunities to learn
Prism provides excellent opportunities to learn across the organisation. If you are interested in a certain project or topic, it is always possible to get involved if you wish. As a close knit team, it is also great to be able to learn about what other team members are working on, so you feel involved in the organisation as a whole.
👩👧👧 Team members
One of the best things about working for Prism is the team. As quite a small charity, it is great to be able to get to know all team members really well. We check in with each other a lot, with daily catch-up meetings as well as monthly socials. This means you always feel supported!
📣 Mission & Purpose
Prism's core mission is to increase the flow of funds into the charity sector. Working at Prism is a very fast-paced environment, we are constantly working on several projects at once to enable us to further this purpose, which is great because we quickly see the difference we are making. For example, at the beginning of the pandemic, we knew how we could help fundraisers set up their charitable projects swiftly and efficiently in emergency response to the crisis that was emerging. We were able to get them up and running very quickly, allowing the fundraisers/Founders to focus on their work on the ground while making sure everything was running smoothly behind the scenes, with regard to back office administration. It was great to see what difference we were making in helping them do this.
Overall
Prism is an amazing organisation to be a part of. As soon as you join, you feel part of a team and that's something I hadn't experienced at previous jobs. Everyone is striving for the same goal, and works really hard towards it. You constantly feel supported by team members, and new opportunities to learn are always available. - KV
