June 26, 2025 – Fiduciary Trust Company has been honored with the Best Philanthropy Offering (Americas) Award at the 2025 WealthBriefing Wealth for Good Awards. This recognition highlights the firm’s commitment to providing innovative philanthropic services and sustainable investment options that empower clients to achieve their charitable goals.
“Philanthropy continues to be an important priority for our firm and many of our clients,” said Austin V. Shapard, President & CEO of Fiduciary Trust Company. “We’re proud to offer thoughtful, innovative philanthropic services that help clients make a meaningful impact, whether through charitable giving strategies or values-aligned investments.”
The Wealth for Good Awards recognize the contribution the wealth management sector makes to finance and encourage sectors where profit is not necessarily the primary motive. Nominees undergo a rigorous evaluation process by an independent panel of judges representing a broad range of institutions, including asset managers, banks, trust companies, law firms, family offices, and independent consultants. The judges’ citation noted, “[Fiduciary Trust Company’s] expert team, thought leadership, and community commitment set a new standard in strategic charitable giving.” They also commended Fiduciary for expanding illiquid asset giving, enhancing international grant processes, and donor-advised fund impact growth with record contributions and grants.
Fiduciary Trust’s philanthropic services include a flexible donor-advised fund (DAF) program, with Fiduciary Trust Charitable as the DAF sponsor. The firm’s wealth and philanthropic planning expertise, personal service, and range of flexible charitable giving vehicles contributed to its success in receiving this award.
This marks the third consecutive year Fiduciary Trust has received this honor, having previously been recognized for Best Philanthropy Initiative/Offering at the 2024 and 2023 ceremonies.
