About Charles Wallace India 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. For more detailed description of these grants, details of eligibility and
how to apply please see subsequent pages.
