About the Trust

Charles Wallace lived and worked in Kolkata. He was the co founder of the Shaw Wallace company, although there are no connections now between the Trust and the company.

Charles Wallace died in 1916, leaving his modest fortune to his family for one generation and then for the benefit of the people among whom he had made it.

In 1981, following an agreement between the Indian and UK governments, the Charles Wallace India Trust was established under English charity law. It is run by four Trustees and a Secretary.

Since being established it has made around 2500 grants to Indians working in the arts, in heritage conservation and the humanities.

British Council India advises on the work of the Trust and provides administrative support.
