| The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is an international organisation that plays a pivotal role in supporting the voluntary sector by offering a range of sophisticated financial services to charities, businesses and individual donors. CAF manages some £2.8 billion of the voluntary sector’s assets. Key services offered by CAF, some of which are FSA regulated, include banking services to the not-for-profit sector, management of investment funds, donor and payroll giving programmes, as well as setting up and administering sophisticated trusts.
Pioneering social investment and operating in an entrepreneurial and forward thinking environment, CAF aims to be at the leading edge of innovative solutions to support the ongoing development of the voluntary sector. CAF Bank Ltd is at the heart of CAF and
offers specialist financial services to some 15,000 charities. With over £1 billion of charities’ funds under CAF Bank’s management at present, there is a huge opportunity to expand its work on behalf of the sector.
The organisation now wishes to appoint a new Chair of CAF Bank. This person will also be a trustee on CAF’s main board. The Chair will provide counsel to the senior management team of the Bank, as it pursues an ambitious plan for growth as part of CAF’s overall strategy. Candidates for the role will be strong strategic leaders, with a passion for the work of the voluntary sector. Prior knowledge of the UK retail banking sector will be an advantage, as will non-executive experience.
CAF will also shortly be seeking other new trustees for its main board.
