Charitable Trusts and Foundations
Charitable trusts and foundations provide essential funds that enable Kew to undertake important scientific, conservation, horticultural and capital projects across the organisation.
Some recent examples of how trusts and foundations have assisted Kew’s work:
• Copus (Committee for the Public Understanding of Science) supports and encourages ways of making science more accessible to public audiences and is funded by the Office of Science and Technology and the Royal Society. Support was received from Copus for Kew’s Redwood Educational Grove, which was created to provide visitors, particularly schoolchildren, with an interactive experience that makes learning about the magnificent Redwood trees, and the wildlife they support, fun and interesting.
• Gatwick Community Trust is a charity which supports projects in the Gatwick Airport region. The Trust recently awarded a grant to provide public interpretation panels at Wakehurst Place, describing British wildflowers and their habitats.
