Global Witness Trust

Global Witness Trust supports initiatives that expose and highlight the impact environmental damage has on people and the planet.

Global Witness Trust is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity (no. 1117844, registered in England & Wales) that aims to promote public education on environmental issues, including the preservation, conservation and sustainable development of the natural environment.

It also supports research and investigations in areas affected by environmental damage and its impact on local communities.

The Trust’s role is as a grant-making body. Its main activities are to raise funds, including through inviting, requesting or applying for grants and contributions, individual gifts, legacy or property. In doing so, the charity complies with relevant statutory regulations as provided by Charity Law and the Charity Commission.

In line with its grant making policy, the trustees have determined that the best way for the Trust to fulfil this objective is to support the charitable aspects of investigations and campaigns carried out by Global Witness.
