Trustees

Founded by Michael and Henrietta Lindsell, The Lindsell Foundation carefully select projects and initiatives that align with the core aims of the foundation. Projects are identified and extensively researched by individual trustees, presented to the board where they are discussed, and final projects are selected dependent on funds available. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals and applications for funding.
