Our Approach

We believe in the power of collaboration and long term partnerships.

We work ‘with’ rather than ‘for’ charities.

The PAYCE Foundation was founded in 2016 to build on the long philanthropic tradition of leading property developer PAYCE.

The PAYCE Foundation aims to become a best practice example of engaged and strategic philanthropy. We establish long term partnerships with a range of charities and community organisations addressing the causes and effects of disadvantage and misfortune to ensure these are not determinants of anyone’s quality of life.

We work with charities to identify what works and support organisations both financially and through hands-on capacity building initiatives. We promote innovation and help to develop the sustainability of organisations and their activities.

We understand that organisations need access to funds to deliver services and develop their capacity. At times it is a challenge for charities and not for profits to generate revenue from their own activities or fundraising.

This should not prevent effective organisations from continuing to provide essential services in supporting vulnerable people.

We identify these organisations and provide multi-year grants to support project and administration costs.
