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 effect of social 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 develop sustainable projects and organisations. We have identified five interconnected areas on which we focus our efforts: 1. Addiction 2. Domestic and family violence 3. Mental health and disability 4. Children, youth and families 5. Homelessness and social isolation
