The Foundation’s approach to charitable giving is divided into three key pillars. This helps to focus our efforts, and ensures we have meaningful, measurable criteria to live up to.

Social mobility and entrepreneurship

Our connectedness to entrepreneurship runs deep; The Gift Chain Foundation was established by an entrepreneur, and we insure over one million small businesses worldwide. Gift Chain Foundation is focused on supporting programmes. Preference will be given to organisations that are very local to a Gift Chain Foundation office, and where there may be opportunities for collaboration beyond funding, for example volunteering opportunities which would allow Gift Chain Foundation more direct engagement and/or a chance to share specific expertise.

Protecting and preserving the environment

When it comes to environmental causes, the Foundation is interested in supporting programmes that contribute to improving the environment in the communities in which we operate and where our customers are present. We are focused on projects that in some way address climate variability and look to increase global resilience to climate change, as well as projects to enhance biodiversity.

Protecting and preserving the environment

Our employees are a passionate bunch, and they champion a whole range of worthwhile causes.

From mental health and wellbeing to homelessness, our teams find ways to be generous with their time as well as their money, and the Foundation supports these efforts – predominantly through matched funding. In particular, we look to support endeavours where employees have a direct involvement with their chosen charity.
