We have a responsibility to use our influence and our money to make a lasting difference. Money has the power to change lives. 

But money doesn’t change the world. People do. 

The St. James's Place Charitable Foundation has been supporting those in need since 1992. We aim to make a positive and lasting difference to people’s lives by awarding grants to small and medium charities, supporting the incredible work they do in their communities every day. The Charitable Foundation has raised over £139 million so far, supporting millions of people across the world.

We believe everybody should prosper, not just the wealthy few.

Established in 1992, the Charitable Foundation is a large corporate foundation. It supports the in the following areas through it's grant-making:

1. Helping children and young people who have a physical or learning disability or are disadvantaged 
2. Hospices
3. Cancer support charities 
4. Mental Health 

The range of grant programmes reach out to smaller charities; ones which aren’t necessarily in the public eye but provide vital services in their communities.

The SJP community of employees and advisers take part in a wide range of fundraising activities throughout the year. Around 80% of our employees and Partners make a regular monthly gift to the Foundation. Every pound raised is matched by St. James's Place - with the company donating over £4.6m to the Charitable Foundation in 2024.

The Charitable Foundation’s impact is far reaching and enables long-term positive change for the charities and the people it supports:

• Over the past 30 years it has granted millions of pounds to charities, with £8.8 million being awarded in 2024 alone.
• It provides funding and support to over 800 charities every year – with approximately 85% of funding going to charities in the UK and 15% overseas.
• 5 million people have been directly supported and 8 million indirectly. In the past, the Foundation has paid the salary of a youth worker supporting disadvantaged young people and helped to build a specialist hydrotherapy pool for children with severe disabilities. We’ve been able to support another 7.7 million people indirectly too.
