The Federation Advantage in Philanthropic Advisory
| Feature | Traditional Fragmented Approach | SKP Business Federation – Integrated Model |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy | Philanthropic strategy is developed independently of legal and financial considerations. | A unified philanthropic strategy is jointly developed by legal, financial, and social impact experts. |
| Structuring | Legal and tax structures are often complex and challenging to navigate. | Expert guidance is provided to design the optimal legal and tax structure aligned with philanthropic objectives. |
| Compliance | Compliance with charitable and regulatory requirements is handled as a separate, complex task. | Compliance is embedded into the foundation structure from day one. |
| Impact | Measuring and maximizing social impact is frequently addressed late in the process. | Programs and impact metrics are designed upfront to ensure meaningful, measurable social outcomes. |
