Bank Vontobel Charitable Foundation:
So that others can share in your good fortune.
For many people who live in comfortable circumstances it is important that some part of their wealth should be used for charitable purposes.
You want to do something but you want to remain in the background, and you do not want to take on the considerable burden involved in setting up your own foundation. That's why
you should consider the Bank Vontobel Charitable Foundation.
