What we do
The PA Foundation is an independent charity expanding access to quality education, skills, and careers – particularly in STEM-related fields – and working to address the underlying barriers holding people from disadvantaged backgrounds back.
Formed in late 2021, The PA Foundation amplifies PA’s volunteering efforts by providing grants to charities and non-profit organisations to make a real difference. In 2022, The PA Foundation distributed more than £1.2 million to 20 charity partners in all of the core regions PA operates.
Our relationship to PA
We’re PA’s charity partner. PA people volunteer their time and expertise with our charity partners, which deepens the impact we have.
PA is also providing The PA Foundation with ongoing financial support, starting with a £10 million donation to be dispersed across projects run by its global communities through 2027.
Meet our Trustees
The PA Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of independent Trustees and current PA employees.
