Dear Sir,
New Grant-Making Trust Launched For Charity
A new grant-making trust, set up to redirect unclaimed assets from
investment banks to charity, has recently been launched.
The Balance Charitable Foundation aims to secure the release of up to
£20bn of unclaimed assets from banks and other financial institutions so
they can be used for charitable purposes. Sophie Chapman, policy and
campaigns officer at the Charity Finance Directors Group said: “A
transfer of unclaimed assets scheme has already been very successful in
Ireland, and has led to the transfer of millions of pounds into the Irish
Community Fund for use by charities and other good causes.â€
Investment banks UBS and Lehman Brothers have already given their
backing to the project and are looking at how they can get involved.
The foundation is in discussion with the Financial Services Authority
to tackle the technical and regulatory hurdles to ensure unclaimed
assets can be released. The charity says it will safeguard the rights of any
owners of assets who come forward to claim them by using an insurance
scheme set up through Lloyds.
The move to tap unclaimed assets for charity follows a campaign last
year by Labour MP Martyn Jones, who had called on the government to set
up a trust to receive money from dormant bank and building society
accounts and channel them to charities.
In his budget report, published in March 2004, Gordon Brown praised the
Balance Foundation initiative and called on high street banks and the
wider finance industry to get involved. It is understood that high
street banks are the main holders of unclaimed assets, which lie unused in
dormant bank accounts.
The budget report said: “The government welcomes the creation of the
Balance Charitable Foundation for Unclaimed Assets. Where assets and
owners cannot be reunited, it is also right that the assets be reinvested
in society, as long as the original owners' entitlements to reclaim are
preserved.
