stjamesplace.comAbout St. James's Place Charitable Foundation
St. James's Place Charitable Foundation is the charitable arm of St. James's Place Wealth Management Group, driving positive, lasting impact for vulnerable people through values of integrity, compassion, and collective generosity. Deeply integrated with its wealth management network, the Foundation empowers UK charities via practical, hands-on support that addresses immediate needs and fosters long-term wellbeing, with a distinctive emphasis on matching employee and adviser donations alongside relationship-driven grantmaking.
What St. James's Place Charitable Foundation funds
The Foundation prioritises four themes: supporting disadvantaged young people, people with cancer, young people with special needs or disabilities, and mental health or hospice/palliative care. It funds direct service delivery—covering capital costs like equipment, revenue such as staff salaries, and project activities—with a preference for tangible, measurable interventions and multi-year commitments for sustainable impact, especially in innovative hospice care. The Foundation has a UK-wide focus with rare overseas exceptions.
