PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER, SARAH, THE DUCHESS
OF YORK

Since becoming a grandmother, I’ve become acutely aware of my responsibility, and that of my generation, to do everything I can to improve the state of the world that we are leaving for our grandchildren. Sarah’s Trust is dedicated to supporting frontline, grassroots work to address the humanitarian and environmental crisis, the hunger crisis and issues perpetuating cycles of extreme poverty across our world that demand our attention and action.

That is why I established Sarah's Trust, a UK charitable foundation. I set up the trust to focus my philanthropic activities and to create a space for like-minded people to give to organisations around the world that we have identified as efficient and impactful. 

It has been a joy to serve since the launch of Sarah’s Trust, and in the years ahead we will continue with our commitment to protecting vulnerable communities and this precious planet that we share. I work alongside a highly professional and dedicated team and a board of trustees that is passionate about getting funds to where they are needed the most. If you share this passion, please do get in touch and I would be delighted to welcome you into our philanthropy family.

For over 30 years, our founder, The Duchess of York has been committed to children’s and wellness causes with a focus on education. She has travelled the globe to see the projects first-hand and has personally raised significant donations for causes that share her passion for change. Since 1993, The Duchess has supported the education of over 1.4 million children.

The trust's mission is to create impactful and sustainable change for forgotten families and communities around the world. We seek out action-centred and evidence-based NGOs, mostly at grass-roots level and award grants as well as practical support. Sarah’s Trust acts as a vital bridge between individuals whose social responsibility and financial ability enables them to give philanthropically, and charities who can show that these funds will be directed exactly where they are needed most.

We carefully consider the social, economic and multi-cultural implications of a project, and ensure that we will address specific needs in a way that is respectful of the beneficiaries that we are supporting. Our highly experienced team continually monitors and evaluates the impact of our grant-making and we take a personal interest in the people and projects that we support. 

Since its launch, Sarah's Trust has supported over 40 organisations, made an impact over 25 countries and improved the lives of thousands of people. This is a testament to our unwavering commitment to creating a positive change around the world.
