Welcome to Top Trusts 2024 covering the top 101 new grant makers set up last year, by wealth.
Overall, we saw wealth connected to these funders at around £137 billion up from £50bn last year, and over four times of what we saw across 2020. The wealthy have seen their wealth increase dramatically in recent years.
Of the 101 newly established trusts, many have significant wealth, including:
• 9 with billionaires
• 22 worth over £100 million
• 72 worth over £10 million
There are some familiar names within this publication, and a great deal of less well known individuals who have seen significant increases in wealth through investment decisions, or through selling their companies.
