The PA Foundation

The PA Foundation aims to develop and inspire people, particularly those facing disadvantage, to be the innovators and leaders of tomorrow, applying their ingenuity to solve the world's biggest challenges.

Making an impact

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.

Reporting our impact

The PA Foundation has distributed over £3.3m to 41 charitable organisations across the UK, US, Nordics and Netherlands. Through a combination of restricted and unrestricted grants the organisations we work with aim to reach over 12,000 people facing disadvantage to improve their education, skills, or employment outcomes. 

Our Annual Report provides full details on all of the initiatives we support, and our impact reporting series provides a thematic deep dive into the impact we have for some of our participant groups.

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.
