Wellcome Trust

Wellcome Trust is a politically and financially independent global charitable foundation, funded by a £38.2 billion investment portfolio. Their strategy includes grant funding, advocacy campaigns and partnerships to find solutions for today’s urgent health challenges.

Wellcome Trust's founder, Sir Henry Wellcome, was a pharmaceutical entrepreneur. Their governance is based on an updated version of his will, in which he left Wellcome Trust his wealth, his collection of historical medical items, and their mission to improve health through research.

Wellcome supports science to solve the urgent health challenges facing everyone. They support discovery research into life, health, and well-being—taking on three worldwide health challenges: mental health, infectious disease, and climate.
