The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation is an international foundation promoting the development of individuals and organisations through art, science, education, and charity, for a more equitable and sustainable society. The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation was established in 1956 by the will of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian, a philanthropist of Armenian origin who lived in Lisbon between 1942 and 1955, the year he died.

Since its establishment in 1956, the UK Branch has supported organisations to improve the quality of life for all, prioritising vulnerable and underserved communities in tackling complex global problems. The UK Branch focuses its resources where it can best make a difference.

Based in London, the UK Branch contributes to the Foundation’s mission for a more equitable and sustainable society using our networks, experience and way of working. The UK Branch works internationally with partners in the UK, Portugal and beyond.
