Kier Foundation

Supporting charitable causes

The Kier Foundation is an independently registered charity that supports both Kier’s charity partner and other charitable causes close to the hearts of our employees and the communities in which we operate.

The Kier Foundation began operating in 2012, with the purpose of offering financial support to charitable bodies throughout the UK. Since its formation, the Kier Foundation has donated more than £1.5m to charitable causes, thanks to the continued support of our employees.

At Kier, we facilitate employee engagement and involvement with charitable partners, providing support through the Kier Foundation. Part of this is our Payroll Giving, a scheme that allows employees to make donations via a direct deduction from their gross pay.

Charity partnership – Trussell

At Kier, we have a corporate charity partner and in July 2023 we welcomed our latest partnership with Trussell.

This partnership, chosen by Kier colleagues, will deliver volunteering and pro bono work, as well as aiming to raise £250,000 to support core delivery programmes, including cost of living emergency support.
