Living our values

The value of “We succeed as one global team” resonates with me deeply as I continue to build the Apax Foundation. Apax actively encourages everyone to participate in the Foundation’s work and utilise the matching scheme to support charities globally that matter to them most. With a long-standing commitment to philanthropy, we collaborate to uplift underserved communities in the areas where our teams operate.

Victoria's Story

The challenging environment all of us found ourselves in during Covid, really drove Victoria's passion for supporting those charities who are focused on improving outcomes for disadvantaged people. Sharing an office with her husband, who himself had also made the move into the social impact sector, inspired her to pursue a career in grant making and getting corporate organisations to understand the benefit both to them and charities, of skills based volunteering.
