Syncona’s approach to charity

We make an annual donation of 0.35% of NAV to The Syncona Foundation, which supports a range of charities, the majority of which focus on seeking treatments for or supporting patients with disease. In addition to this, the Syncona Investment Management Limited team directly support a number of other charitable partners.

Each year, Syncona provides a significant level of philanthropic funding to The Syncona Foundation; which has ambitions aligned to our vision to deliver transformational treatments for patients and through which we believe we contribute to the wider healthcare ecosystem.

We are committed to donating 0.35% of NAV to The Syncona Foundation on an annual basis. The Foundation typically provides funding to its charitable partners on an unrestricted basis, which gives charities the freedom to deploy money into the places they believe it can have the most impact.

In addition to support provided to The Syncona Foundation charitable partners, the team also provides direct support to not-for-profit organisations which are committed to developing and supporting the next generation of life science investors. In particular, Syncona has prioritised working alongside organisations such as the Windsor Fellowship and Bio-spark.
