ABOUT THE ST JAMES PLACE FOUNDATION


In 1999, the shareholders of St. James's Place Capital agreed that, in future, the Company should match, pound for pound, all monies raised by the Foundation, with an upper limit of £500,000. In 2001, this resulted in funds raised exceeding £1 million in a year for the first time, an accomplishment that was repeated in 2002, 2003 and 2004. The matching upper limit has been increased each year and in 2005 stands at £800,000. In total more than £6.5 million has been raised.

At the present time, the St James Place Foundation has two themes “Cherishing the Children” and “The Hospice Movement”. Any UK charity with a turnover of less than £400,000 that has a project that will provide directly for young people (under the age of 25) within the UK who suffer from physical or mental health difficulties or conditions, or a life threatening or degenerative illness can apply for a grant of up to £10,000 from the Foundation. Similarly, the Foundation makes grants of up to £10,000 to hospices in the UK for items such as equipment, the cost of therapy and other treatments.
