SJP St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation
Formed in 1992, the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the St. James's Place Group.
The Foundation has always been a very special part of the St. James’s Place business and its continued growth demonstrates clearly how special to everyone it truly is and epitomises the founding principle on which it was formed ‘to give back to those less fortunate and make a positive and lasting difference to people’s lives
Andrew Humphries,Chair of Trustees, St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation
The work of the Charitable Foundation is made possible through the generosity and commitment of the SJP community and St. James’s Place PLC. Fundraising and donations from the community, together with in-kind business support and matched funding from the PLC, enable the Foundation to deliver impactful grant-making to the charities that need it most.
The majority of our grant making is based on UK charities with approximately 15% being allocated to charities overseas. We are focussing our funding on five main themes shown below, now having Financial Wellbeing as a restricted fund for 2026 to 2028, with the aim of supporting substantive and transformational change for the charities we fund and their beneficiaries, so that we can facilitate positive and lasting change in communities.
We partner with charities that support children and young people under 25 who are experiencing physical, social, or economic disadvantage. Our mission is to help build a more inclusive and accessible society for young people who face significant barriers in their lives.
Our focus is on supporting charities that deliver services for people with a cancer diagnosis, helping them feel informed, empowered, and supported. This also includes support for their immediate family members.
Our funding enables organisations to deliver mental health services and early interventions that strengthen resilience, address stigma, and improve outcomes for those who are most vulnerable.
We fund community and hospice-based programmes that support people living with a debilitating or life-limiting illness access specialist services, respite, and end-of-life care.
This is a restricted fund generously provided by St James’s Place which will offer funding from 2026 to 2028 specifically for charities delivering financial wellbeing for disadvantaged people and communities.
