The Leverhulme Trust

The Leverhulme Trust is one of the largest charitable foundations by annual spend in the world. It was established in 1925 under the terms of the Will of the First Viscount Leverhulme, the Founder of Lever Brothers, the multinational company that is today Unilever. Since 1925, the Trust has provided grants and scholarships for research and education and in the last two decades alone has distributed grants of more than a £1 billion in the sciences, humanities, social sciences, arts and performing arts.
