Charles Wallace India Trust

The CHARLES WALLACE INDIA TRUST(CWIT) is an arts, heritage conservation and humanities scholarship fund.

Established in 1981 CWIT was funded from the estate of Charles William Wallace.

Wallace was born in Calcutta in 1855 and died in London in 1916. His business interests in India and South Asia flourished and he believed his modest fortune should benefit the people among whom he had made it.

CWIT enables Indians in the early to mid stages of their careers to spend time in the UK, helping them to achieve artistic, academic and professional ambitions and to broaden their international contacts.

CWIT is an English charity with four trustees- Ingval Maxwell formerly of Historic Scotland, Dr Yasmin Khan of Oxford University, Caroline Douglas Head of Arts Council Collection, Colin Perchard former Director India British Council (nominated by the British Council). The Secretary is Richard Alford, former Director Italy British Council. Details, including CWIT’s accounts and lists of grants awarded, can be seen via the Charity commission website.
