Trust Structure & Governance
A fiduciary vehicle built for purpose.
The Givingtide Global Trust — the ↓↑G Trust — is the formally constituted philanthropic vehicle through which Givingtide International receives, holds, and disburses funds designated for the Universal Project. It is a structured trust arrangement, constituted under applicable law and administered by a regulated professional trustee, designed to protect donor intention at every stage from receipt to disbursement.
Funds entrusted to the ↓↑G Trust are purpose-bound for the exclusive support of Universal Project initiatives and may not be redirected without trustee authorisation consistent with the trust’s governing instrument. This structure ensures that a donor’s stated intention is upheld with full fiduciary accountability — from the moment of gift to the point of impact.
The ↓↑G Trust is managed by First Trustees (formerly FBNQuest Trustees), a licensed and regulated trusteeship company within the FBN Holdings Group — one of West Africa’s most established financial services institutions. First Trustees brings the governance standards, compliance infrastructure, and institutional credibility that major donors and institutional partners rightly expect.
For an institution or individual placing a substantial gift in support of a global initiative, the ↓↑G Trust provides what independent philanthropy alone cannot: a structured counterpart to the giving relationship — one that protects donor intention, strengthens accountability, and helps ensure that impact endures.

The Institute of Preemptology:
what your support builds.
Support channelled through the ↓↑G Trust funds the construction and launch of a landmark institution committed to preempting disease, poverty, and systemic harm — before they occur.
Funds contribute to the construction and equipping of the Institute of Preemptology’s flagship complex in Enugu, Nigeria — a purpose-designed centre for research, training, and clinical programmes in preemptive medicine and health systems innovation.
The Institute’s mandate is to qualify 10,000 Preemptologists — a new cadre of health professionals equipped to anticipate, identify, and prevent disease before it manifests — representing the most significant single investment in preemptive health capacity in the developing world.
The Institute is designed to generate a replicable model that other nations may adapt to establish their own centres of preemptive practice. A single founding-level investment becomes a template for global transformation — compounding in impact across time and geography.
The Institute is directly aligned with Universal Health Coverage and the health-related Sustainable Development Goals. By embedding preemptive medicine as a structured discipline — rather than an aspiration — it accelerates progress toward targets that reactive health systems have persistently failed to achieve.
The Case for Action
The global health architecture is
structurally reactive.
The Institute of Preemptology represents a structural correction to a system built to respond to crises it could have prevented. Each figure below documents a measurable failure of reactive medicine — and a mandate for the paradigm the Institute is designed to establish.
Millions Annual NCD Deaths — Preventable
Non-communicable diseases kill tens of millions each year. The overwhelming majority are preventable through earlier identification and structural intervention. Reactive systems consistently intervene too late.
More than four million children under five die each year from preventable causes — malnutrition, infection, and the absence of primary preventive care. Each death represents a systemic failure of preemptive health infrastructure.
The World Health Organisation estimates poor-quality care generates over one trillion dollars in annual productivity losses. The cost of preemptive intervention is a fraction of the burden imposed by conditions that go unprevented.
Medical expenses drive more than one hundred million people into poverty each year. Preventable illness generating catastrophic out-of-pocket expenditure is the mechanism by which reactive health systems perpetuate poverty at scale.
The pandemic exposed, with unprecedented clarity, the limitations of health systems built entirely around reactive response. Nations with preemptive infrastructure fared materially better — yet the structural lesson has not been institutionalised at scale.
Preemptive medicine as a structured, scalable discipline does not yet exist at institutional scale. The ↓↑G Trust exists to build that infrastructure. The window for founding-level impact is open — and it is finite.
Remittance Instructions
Verified remittance instructions
for the ↓↑G Trust.
The following remittance instructions are verified for the receipt of contributions in support of U.P. 2026 — the Institute of Preemptology — and are administered under the fiduciary oversight of First Trustees (formerly FBNQuest Trustees) as custodian to the ↓↑G Trust. All funds are received into trustee-administered accounts and held under professional fiduciary custody, independently of Givingtide International’s programme operations.
Contributions remitted through the ↓↑G Trust are received into accounts held under the custodianship of First Trustees (formerly FBNQuest Trustees), a licensed and regulated trusteeship company within the FBN Holdings Group. Custody of contributed funds is structurally separated from Givingtide International’s programme operations. Remittances are received, held, and administered exclusively through trustee-controlled banking rails, in accordance with the trust’s governing instrument. The accounts detailed below are trustee-administered accounts; they are not personal or organisational accounts of Givingtide International. Certain remittance rails and beneficiary validations may continue to resolve under the legacy FBNQuest designation.
The Donor Invitation
Transformative philanthropy demands
structured governance.
The ↓↑G Trust exists because major purpose must be matched by major stewardship. Giving structured through a governed trust does not diminish the act — it ensures the intention is protected, the accountability is documented, and the impact endures.
