The origins of Baxters was seeded from an act of kindness that to this day keeps paying forward, not only through the business itself, but through its charitable giving.
George Baxter borrowed 11 guineas enabling him to open a small shop from where his wife Margaret began making jams and jellies with fruits from the gardens of the Duke of Richmond and Gordon. Over a century later, what started as a small shop is now a global enterprise.
Without the trust, kindness and generosity of George's family, Baxters may never have been. This understanding lies at the heart of our purpose, vision and mission – to give back and pay forward.
Our purpose is to empower our communities for generations to come.
Our vision is for a world in which our impact has created endless ripples of positive change.
Our mission is to provide support and funding to organisations, individuals and initiatives of importance that will facilitate growth and prosperity to the communities in which we serve.

The Foundation considers applications for capital expenditure from registered charities and community groups across Scotland's North and North-east.
The Baxters Giving Programme complements and enhances the fantastic charitable activity already taking place across our sites and offices.
Our charities are governed by a board of trustees, including representatives of the fourth and fifth generation of the Baxter family.
