# Canvas: Philanthropic Advisory & Charity Establishment
Canvas is a London-based consultancy founded in 2015 by Alexandra Taliadoros, specialising in supporting individuals, families, and businesses to establish and scale meaningful charitable and philanthropic initiatives. The firm works exclusively with mission-driven organisations across the social sector, from early-stage charity formation through to established foundation management.
The business serves a diverse clientele united by their commitment to creating positive social impact. Canvas has partnered with organisations including Housing Justice, The Footprints Foundation, and The Finishing School Foundation, delivering expert guidance on governance, compliance, and strategic development.
What distinguishes Canvas is its comprehensive, end-to-end approach to philanthropy. Rather than offering isolated services, the firm provides tailored consulting across the entire lifecycle of charitable work: from navigating charity establishment and regulatory requirements with the Charity Commission, through drafting governance policies and procedures, to developing long-term foundation strategy. Alexandra's background leading philanthropic efforts internationally and domestically brings practical, real-world experience to client engagements.
The firm demonstrates particular strength in demystifying complex compliance frameworks whilst maintaining focus on impact. Client testimonials consistently highlight Canvas's ability to deliver tight timescales without compromising quality, alongside their capacity to translate regulatory requirements into practical, best-practice procedures. This combination of technical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and genuine commitment to the sector makes Canvas a trusted partner for those serious about establishing credible, well-governed organisations that create lasting change.
