The ICEA LION Charitable Trust is for anyone who wants their generosity to live on. It allows you to continue supporting the causes and communities close to your heart even after you’re no longer here. Whether you want to fund scholarships, support vulnerable families, build community projects, or back a faith-based mission, this Trust gives you the power to shape the future in line with your values, and because it’s professionally managed by ICEA LION, your impact is structured, secure, and built to last.

Continue your giving, even when you’re not around
Your charitable giving doesn't have to stop. Your Trust ensures that the causes you care about continue to receive support just as you planned.
Personalised to your values
Whether you want to fund education, healthcare, religion, or grassroots initiatives, you choose exactly how and where the money goes.
Managed by professionals
We offer expert guidance when setting up the Trust. Your assets are handled by a licensed Fund Manager, meaning they are invested responsibly for long-term value.
Protected and private
The assets in your Trust are secure. They’re not subject to court battles or probate delays, and they can’t be claimed by creditors.
Flexible and affordable
There’s no minimum starting amount, and no joining fees. We charge 1% annually on the value of the Trust to manage it. That covers professional administration, reporting, and compliance, so your giving remains smooth and accountable.
Peace of mind, for life and beyond
Your wishes are written down in a Trust Deed. We ensure they’re followed to the letter. This gives you the comfort of knowing your legacy is in safe hands.

You can contribute once or regularly, and decide whether to support a single organisation or spread your impact across many.

Once set up, your funds are placed in a dedicated Trust, governed by a deed that outlines how and where your donations should be applied. ICEA LION Trust Company acts as the corporate trustee, responsibly managing and disbursing the funds in line with your instructions. You can make contributions during your lifetime or through your estate, and enjoy tax and legacy planning benefits along the way.
