The John Browne Charitable Trust was established 20 years ago by John Browne, Lord Browne of Madingley, to support causes associated with his life as an engineer, businessman, patron of the arts, and son of a Holocaust survivor. It is guided by a group of Trustees with experience and expertise across finance, academia and public service.
Supporting exceptional people & organisations in the pursuit of human progress
The John Browne Charitable Trust supports projects which will make a tangible difference to the lives of people with great potential, particularly those from under-represented backgrounds who may not otherwise have the chance to excel. Over the past 20 years, the Trust has distributed more than £3 million in five main areas.
We welcome applications to the Trust, which will be reviewed by the Trustees against five criteria:
Geographic focus: priority is given to people and organisations based in the United Kingdom; and
Area of focus: engineering science and practice, the natural environment, and the arts; and
Long-term commitment to furthering the mission of the Trust; and
Supporting underrepresented groups, including those from low income households, women, and LGBT+ people; or
Supporting brilliant people with a commitment to excellence
