Search Menu About Us Mace Foundation SHARE Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Supporting the communities where we work We believe that companies have a responsibility to support the communities that they work in. To enhance the company's commitment to give back to local people, the Mace Foundation was launched in 2012. Each year we give 1% of our pre-tax profits to our communities. Since its formation, the charity has been driving forward our ambition to make a real and sustainable difference to the lives of people – generating opportunities for us to support disadvantaged individuals and enhance communities. Who we support The very nature of the construction industry means that investing in the future is something that we are passionate about. We have supported hundreds of causes since 2012 and have worked with several charities to support the next generation to improve their lives. Charity of the Year Our charity of the year is Macmillan Cancer Support. The Foundation has donated £15,000 to kick start the partnership - funding 500 Macmillan nursing hours across the UK. In 2017, Mace employees chose Alzheimer’s Research UK as its charity of the year - funding a project to educate and inform hard-to-reach communities and raising a total of £90,135 to help fight dementia. How we support Donating: The Foundation has donated £2.15m to help disadvantaged people and communities since it was set up. In 2017 Mace employees raised over £536,000 for charities important to them. Match funding: Our employees can apply for the Foundation to match the money they have raised for a charity of their choice. In 2017 the Foundation donated £146,000 through match funding. Our people are instrumental in carrying out the charity’s mission of 'giving back'. We actively encourage them to support the Foundation through: Volunteering: Our people are encouraged to dedicate one day each year to carry out volunteering activities of their choice or support one of our strategic partners. In 2017, 17,631 hours were spent volunteering by dedicated Mace people giving back to communities around the world. Payroll Giving: All our employees are encouraged to regularly donate to a charity through their salary and they give generously to worthy causes each month.
